FARMINGDALE, NY — A Farmingdale biotech startup company hopes to create potential vaccines to battle the deadly new coronavirus, according to a report. Codagenix plans to have vaccines ready to be safety-tested on human volunteers by May, an executive told Newsday.
Federal health officials Tuesday warned it’s only a matter of time before the new coronavirus spreads to communities across the United States, including New York. As of this week, there were no positive cases in New York. More than two dozen people were investigated, though tests for all of them have come back negative.
Dr. Nancy Messonnier of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters the question is no longer if the coronavirus, now officially called COVID-19, will spread across the United States but when that will happen. Communities, schools and businesses around the country should begin preparing now for “the expectation that this could be bad,” said Messonnier, who is director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease.
On Friday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said it was”inevitable” that the coronavirus would affect New York. A guest on Long Island News Radio with Jay Oliver, Cuomo was asked about news that someone in California was diagnosed with the virus and it was not travel-related. Cuomo said it was just a matter of “a relatively short period of time” that he would have to make a similar announcement.
“You cannot hermetically seal the United States of America, or New York,” he said.
Cuomo added: “So it’s virtually inevitable, and otherwise we’re playing a game with ourselves.”
