Does Amazon 'Prime Now' work in Honolulu?

NO

It did not work till now. Perhaps, in the future.

The answer is sometimes if you are lucky. However, you cannot plan on it.

8/28/2020

One of our neighbors got some grocery delivered. However, the order was not delivered in its entirety as the inventory does not adjust automatically.

How expensive are the COVID-19 vaccines are when available?

No vaccine has proved to be the most effective so far, but the battle has begun.

Vaccine, at what price?

Her is something I saw on Bloomberg tv recently:


Indian Serum Institute, the world's largest bulk producer of the vaccine will be producing it and distributing it at a very reasonable price.

It is about $3/dose. Moderna appears too expensive for developing countries. 

What is the status of COVID-19 vaccine testing in India

According to WHO, 26 vaccine candidates are being developed. Decades of development have been squeezed into less than a year. The infection has been rampant in India with over 2.2 million and the fatality of 44,000 in India.

Three vaccines are in different phases of testing:

  1. Bharath Biotech vaccine
  2. Zydus Cadila's DNA vaccine
  3. The Oxford vaccine manufactured by Serum Institue of India (SII) has been approved for Phase II and Phase III trials at 17 sites within a week.

[1. and 2. have completed Phase I and will be beginning Phase 2 clinical trials]

Other news:


  • Immunology and vaccine research in Bengaluru will start in collaboration with Emory Vaccine Center in Atlanta
  • Serum Institue of India will be partnering with GAVI and Bill Gates & Melinda foundation to deliver 100 million doses and manufacturing starting in August 2020.
  • Moderna started testing Phase III with 30,000 study subjects on July 27
