Coming to a funeral home near you-- the Dan Patrick show!! Sorry Granny and Pawpaw

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Already a lightning rod of criticism across the country, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick ripped Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo on Wednesday, calling her executive order to require masks in public, as well as spearheading a $60 million COVID-19 medical site at NRG Park, "overreaching."

Patrick released a statement, saying the medical site wasn't needed.

A Question about a COVID-19 vaccination (Years Away?)

I will be more than happy to delete this post if it contains incorrect information. In doing research about vaccines, I came across a lot of things I didn’t understand. Translational RNA, amino acid and peptide formation and a whole lot more. One thing that I did read loud and clear was that the Ebola vaccine was developed, approved, and administered in, and I quote, “record time”—- 5 years. The rationale is that since they will be giving people COVID-19, albeit an attenuated dose, they have to be certain they don’t kill you with it.
When we are told that a vaccine may be discovered by September, is it possible that people assume that it will be ready to be deployed, not just ready to begin trials?
Anyone smarter than me, please correct me.
