Speculation.

My bet is, money will win-out in the final analysis.

As well as company gain exclusive national gain will likely come into it.

If a successful vaccine is first developed in China or the US I wouldn't be surprised if they seek national strategic/economic gain by not sharing the vaccine-making secret with other countries.

The author's odd use of "the Crown" is not self-evident to we plebs.

I don't think so! But maybe with regard to what we are allowed to do economically or make/manufacture, i.e., you can have a service economy, for now!.

Or our co-ops, you know those free market, private enterprise, cooperative capitalism, business models that stood almost alone surviving the Great Depression largely intact, or what source of power we're allowed to choose and use? All compromised via dirty deals/ Maybe? Perhaps? Waadda ya think?

Our politicians avoid as much as possible even saying nuclear power, let alone considering it as the only viable, the energy option, whose name cannot be spoken, i.e., CARBON FREE, nuclear energy option that actually addresses climate change!

Or our preferred economic paradigm?

Or real tax reform!

When we recover fro the virus? Will it be business as usual with the usual robber barons holding reins/the whip hand and our politicians rolling over and begging for a tummy rub?

And pork barrelling buying votes with welfare for the rich and doing dirty deals in the dark to make a nonsense out of the democratic voting process?

Our current cooperation over the virus and a possible vaccine could be the model we need to go forward and not just survive, but thrive and prosper!

Even so, there are some shite stirring, pot-stirring mongrels among us who want anything else be the power junkie control, freaks or just Islamist terrorists who see the current level of cooperation as the very opposite to the chaos and mayhem the would and could create if allowed!

Be very surprised if the answer is no.
It is a capitalistic world and djt has no ethics, morals or scruples.

Looks like across the board all bookies listed here http://www.oddschecker.com/politics/us-politics/us-presidential-election-2020/winner tip Trump to win the Nov Election

Maybe US "swinging" voters like a POTUS (Donald John Trump ("djt")) with "no ethics, morals or scruples"

...who doesn't read anything longer than his own Tweets.
