Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Great news for Lupus sufferers!
"Drug manufacturers are increasing production of drugs for COVID-19 and autoimmune issues in some cases they have started production where they had not been. An example is Mylan at its Morgantown, WV location.

"PARIS, April 2 (Reuters) - Sanofi SA will be able to provide millions of doses of hydroxychloroquine for patients with the illness caused by the novel coronavirus if the old malaria drug proves successful in clinical trials, its chief executive told Reuters on Thursday.

Paul Hudson, who became CEO of the French drugmaker in September, said in an interview that the company is currently manufacturing at over 93% capacity during the pandemic.

He said the company had made a choice to "overproduce" its drugs to ensure supplies for hospitals in Europe and the United States facing an unprecedented crush of patients suffering from respiratory complications that is threatening to overwhelm healthcare systems."

No, Darren has posted some encouraging news, but let's not forget that the development will take at least a a year (as the article states); maybe today should be day 365 in the countdown? Of course enough people will likely have gotten it by that time to result in herd immunity and end the crisis before the vaccine is ready. Or maybe a useful treatment will be developed. Or maybe... We'll get beyond this, but just as we shouldn't panic (and some are panicking), we shouldn't minimize the problems it poses (and some are doing that).
