Best case scenario, vacine will be available to everyone in the north by the end of summer, worst case scenario, there's not gonna be anything and in October we will have another pandemia with mutations that eventually will be more deadly.

As it happened with other 2nd rounds of a pandemia in history.

Now If we get to discover something and the deployment can be only done to X% of the population who do we save? Our own country or the neighbors?...

Italy was asking to Europe for medical supply and nobody responded, every single country is gonna play egoistic in this topic and don't expect anyone to give thousands of millions in missed workforce to save the older in neighbor countries. Cold reality.

I assume that mass production of a vacine works by multiplying an initial sample, so the exponential growth can't be started in every country at the same time, there is a time constraint and is global
