I had a feeling somebody will come up with a solution sooner than expected. I just didn't know it was going to be the local boys:

"A potential vaccine against the novel coronavirus causing the covid-19 outbreak has been created in a University of Pittsburgh lab.
Researchers say the first phase of human clinical trials — which would include healthy volunteers in the Pittsburgh area — could start in the coming months.
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine announced Thursday that the vaccine, when tested in mice, produces antibodies specific to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that could be enough to fight off the virus. Testing the vaccine in mice doesn’t guarantee efficacy in humans."
For the history buffs:
", Falo invoked Pitt’s own Jonas Salk — the medical pioneer whose team developed the world’s first effective polio vaccine in 1955."
Even if this thing doesn't work out:
"At least 50 other potential vaccine candidates are in development worldwide, and two candidates — one developed by researchers in Beijing, the other by the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotechnology company Moderna and the U.S. National Institutes of Health — have proceeded to clinical trials, according to a tally kept by the World Health Organization."
