1. Lying ass!

They may be close to isolating a vaccine agent, but you have to test it, and testing isn't done quickly because like hydoxychlorquine, it can be found that the vaccine is ineffective and therefore more will die, or it can be unsafe, therefore more will die.

Trump lies like other people breathe.
