Damn
Johnson & Johnson announced a similar thing. They have a likely vaccine candidate going into testing. But instead of producing it in quantity after testing, they are ramping up production it now in case it proves viable.
Large monetary risk, that I am surprised they are able to get done as a publicly traded company.

Coronavirus: Spanish deaths fall for fourth consecutive day
The daily number of coronavirus deaths has fallen in Spain for a fourth consecutive day, boosting hopes the country has passed the outbreak's peak.
Monday's increase of 637 deaths means 13,055 have died in total. The nation has more than 135,000 confirmed cases, the most in Europe, but new infections have been slowing. In Italy, the number of new infections fell by 1,031 to 1,941 on Monday, but the death toll rose to 636 - more than 100 higher than the previous day. Slowing infection rates in a number of European countries are raising hope that strict social distancing measures are curbing the spread of Covid-19 - the disease caused by the virus. On Monday, Austria's chancellor announced plans to start easing some of the restrictions in place because of the pandemic. -

Like, "hey, fewer people died, but we're still filling more coffins than we can build."

Coronvirus: People of Wuhan allowed to leave after lockdown
The months-long lockdown in the city of Wuhan in China's Hubei province - where the coronavirus pandemic started - has been lifted.
Anyone who has a "green" code on a widely used smartphone health app is now allowed to leave, for the first time since 23 January. Train, road and rail connections have now been re-established. It comes after China reported no deaths on Tuesday, the first time since it began publishing figures. To contain the spread in Wuhan, authorities imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel and ordered the closure of most businesses in the bustling metropolis, which is home to 11 million people. -
