Even if a vaccine is discovered or developed, there will have to be a LOT of trials to determine that it is not harmful - those take a lot of time... Any vaccine has to be associated with specific instances of the virus - it may not be (as) effective on variations or mutations of the virus... etc.

Over 70,000 new cases in the U.S. today. One of the most bizarre issues over there is Trump's unwillingness to be publicly photographed wearing a mask. It's such an incredibly easy move to wear a mask and to encourage everyone else to do so; it'd save lives and boost his approval rating, but he somehow has managed to fuck even this up. Pretty sad to see.

Yesterday's numbers
USA
New Cases - 71,787
Deaths - 849
Canada
New Cases - 321
Deaths - 10
So keep that border closed.
At the current rate, USA should hit 2% infected in about 2 months, with deaths nearing 200,000.
