Excellent news all around.

We could possibly see the vaccine become available before the year is out, which would be a record turnaround for vaccine development, though that's understandable as there has never in the history of vaccines been such an enormous and urgent need to provide one as soon as possible.

It'll naturally roll out first to front line health workers and other at-risk groups most at risk, but as more becomes available, the general public should be able to get their shot not long afterwards.

The shift in the virus spreading in Europe is getting more pronounced day by day.

Current top 10 daily reported cases

1. Russia 8824 (56%) flat
2. UK 1410 (9.0%) declining
3. Belarus 725 (4.6%) declining
4. Ukraine 708 (4.5%) rapid growth
5. France 559 (3.6%) flat
6. Spain 442 (2.8%) slight growth
7. Poland 391 (2.5%) flat over all
8. Moldova 379 (2.4%) rapid growth
9. Italy 296 (1.9%) flat
10. Portugal 287 (1.8%) flat

Overall Europe is still in slight decline, 93% week over week change.

Sweden might creep up there, they reported 180 cases so far but it seems to keep changing the next day.
1251 cases June 12th, 180 June 13th.

I wonder what's going on in Poland, they're basically stuck around the same numbers since early April. Looking at Poland's mobility report it seems the same as Sweden, doing enough to stop growing, not enough to start declining.

Why are you so interested in coronavirus victims everyday ?

With the large scale testing ramping up in Luxembourg, more persons are getting found with the virus. As a result the amount of active infections now hovers at around 30, with generally 2-5 infected persons found out of 3000-5000 tests per day.

At the moment we still have 19 persons treated in hospitals (the others being asymptomatic), and none of them are in intensive care units, and the last person to die from Coronavirus in Luxembourg did so 3 weeks ago.

We don't need a vaccine.

Another day where Sweden report 0 death, sundays are usually great. And our finance minister recently did a press conference where she said swedes courage levels are at 90%, hopefully we hit over 100% this month. As more countries start get out of their lockdowns our exports will also start to pick up, United states looks troubling though, they are opening up at a slow pace.

We're making progress.

It will likely kill my wife (pre-existing lung and other conditions) if she hasn't 'survived' it already. It needs to go away first before she's willing to seek medical help with now over a month of gastrointestinal issues. (She never really got over the double pneumonia that had us worried she wouldn't make it through the nights for a couple weeks in Februari)

At least elective surgeries are back here, hopefully the rest of the health care system comes back online as well.

Good news (for us) no more new cases detected locally since Thursday and non hospitalized atm.

Hmm maybe we do need to develop a vaccine as quickly as possible, ofc rushing this can cause side-effects from the vaccine we won't discover.

The virus spread in Canada is so low I think your wife can safely go to the hospital, no need to worry.

This is an extremely bad idea, and 100% of all doctors would tell you the same thing. If someone needs medical attention, go for it, one or a thousand coronavirus cases in your region. A British oncologist has estimated 50,000 extra cancer deaths if people were too afraid of seeking medical care until September, for instance. Cardiologists and others are similarly concerned for their patients.

Obviously, I'm not suggesting something that bad might be the case, but if these worries have lasted this long and are as concerning as you seem to imply, since you are posting about her health issues frequently, then you need professional help instead of musing about it online.

Health-wise, the consequences if something is or goes wrong are much worse than wasting a little time and effort by seeking a doctor... or being careful with your hygiene in public, in this case.

Yes we do, unless you want millions of people dying unnecessarily.

Vaccination is the only long term way to prevent COVID-19 continuing to circulate and kill. Even once the pandemic is eventually over, without vaccination it will never entirely go away and will simply become an endemic disease spreading at a low level permanently. 

Thankfully, we are getting a vaccine, regardless of whether you think we need one.
