The pandemic has struck the world and the need for a vaccine has never been more urgent. A group of G-20 leaders met at a summit to discuss and made plans for all vaccines to be available for all.

These leaders agreed to expend effort to protect lives, but not give direct solutions for it. Notably, one deficiency is how to get the money needed to mass-produce these vaccines, get them, and how to get them to the four corners of the world, Reported AP News.
Crowding at U.S. airports
This thanksgiving there will be many traveling to places for Thanksgiving which is a problem according to Dr. Antony Fauci. He was in the CBS show "Face the Nation" and said that possible cases are multiplying as people travel. Adding that it will get the situation worse than it is which is a great concern. Ominously, it will take time for the cases to show up and when cold weather hits at the worst instance.
When will the vaccines be out
Already a date for the planned rollout for the first-ever coronavirus vaccine will be probably on December 12.

Death toll: How many have died
All over the US, many Americans have been a victim of the pandemic and cases are rising at a pace to examine. Allegedly the number of deaths caused by the virus is 1,467 over the past week according to Johns Hopkins University. An increase of 50% from about two weeks.

More people are ignoring preventive means
Quoting Dr. Mark Cullen, an infectious disease expert from Stanford University, he said," "Large numbers of people getting together oblivious of controls - no masks, no social distancing, often indoors - a lot of those things are occurring at night." This comes as California will have a lockdown coming as the cases arise.
Rapid testing
Free COVID-19 testing is long and will have a long wait for your turn, especially in cities that are grossly affected by the contagion. Another is the holidays coming which is a serious consideration for many officials if it will spread the disease. Some enterprises like pop up clinics advertise fast results that might cost more. One question is who can afford it and who cannot.
G-20 leaders have promised a coronavirus vaccine but there will be more technicalities before it reaches everyone.
