Facebook stopped accepting new orders for Oculus Quest this week and expects an impact by the Coronavirus on production of the standalone headset.
Here’s the statement from a Facebook spokesperson:
“Oculus
Quest has been selling out in some regions due to high demand. That
said, like other companies we’re expecting some additional impact to our
hardware production due to the Coronavirus. We’re taking precautions to
ensure the safety of our employees, manufacturing partners and
customers, and are monitoring the situation closely. We are working to
restore availability as soon as possible.”

Moderna and Inovio are using DNA sequencing and said they'd have a vaccine ready for testing on animals in 1 month and that was a week ago when they were given the full DNA sequence of the virus. Probably 2 more months after that for clinical trials.
RedRizla said:
I heard a vaccine won't be available for around 8 months and that it will be more likely 2021 before we see one. I hope it's weeks away, but I haven't seen anywhere that they expect one within weeks.
