"test cases", maybe I'm heartless motherfucker after all..

How I understand that they create some vaccine, then they need to apply it to enough people, then they need to get infected. Mice they infect artificially, this doesn't work with humans. So need to wait for natural process.
That's lengthy and the better we are at containing the spread, the longer it will be. If people don't get infected, then we don't know if vaccine helps.

And this has to be done again and again, because first attempts probably won't succeed.

Or they need to create a lot of random vaccines and inject them even more of population. Instead of pinpointing the solution, use shotgun approach.

So it gets more and more expensive in terms or time, money, hope, etcetera.


If many people get infected, then it's faster to try out vaccines.
