The United States said Tuesday it was developing a vaccine against a deadly virus that originated in China, and urged Beijing to step up its cooperation with international health authorities.

The US government is keen to place its own teams on the ground to review the raw data and learn more about the pathogen, which has so far claimed more than 100 lives.

China was severely criticized for its handling of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome epidemic of 2002-03, which claimed hundreds of lives, mostly on the mainland and in Hong Kong. "We will utilize the same technology that was used in the development and manufacture of Johnson & Johnson's Ebola vaccine which is currently deployed in DRC and Rwanda," said Paul Stofells. It is "the same technology was also used to construct our Zika and HIV vaccine candidates."

Oh our God, please give them the proper wisdom and knowledge to counter, halt and curb this virus from spreading. We need the vaccine for Ncov as soon as possible. Amen. 🙇‍♀️🙏🙇‍♂️👼

Ayaw namin ng US vaccine kung hindi irereinstate ang visa ni Bato. DOH, please prepare a detailed refusal plan. 😅🤣😂

Developing... On proces... Might take months or years!!

why cant china make it, its so stupid because the US has 0 involvement... china should be the one making this because they are the ones who hid the information to us for months on end and now theure gonna rely on the US? what happened to being the most economic country?

It's gonna take months... don't be complacent.

Thank you. 🙏
