A strange guide line to create new vaccins against the new Corona-virus Flue

I was discussing yesterday with a friend, a biologist, about the real risk of coronavirus pandemic flue, when i realized that the arising problem of not only the healing but of prevention and vaccination had to be fitted in a larger panorama.

1. Attenuation of viruses.
2. Was this pandemic flue so strong in Wuhan food markets habitues too?
3. Why this very dangerous flue is not producing so many deaths as we could expect by it in China?

Confronting with all those  dilemmas at a certain point I realized that almost for sure in the living food market in Wuhan where this coronavirus seems to have started its career, there were its predecessors too or better the sibling strains of its brothers and cousins that for at least a 80% should share parts of its genome and capsid; consequently a large part of the people working in those markets have got immunity for the same reason cowpox was used to eradicate the smallpox: one is known to be related to the other one!

So a good idea to proceed is to find brothers and cousins of that virus to use as vaccination, flatily, at least to easily and fast increase the chance to put under a sort of provisional high rate of protection those (or the world at a whole) that are near the risk of infection, having a natural vax.

So:

• track the history of the virus
• Track back the strains of brothers and cousins
• Vaccinate with it as many people as it's possible using those cousins
• Make a statistical research afterward to check for the results.

It is maybe out of the standard of the traditional procedures vax companies do, but if the danger is really so high maybe a temporary solution offered by a common sense can increase meanwhile the chance of reducing the risk of a general pandemic by this corona-virus.
