What got you talking last week
With markets falling and life as we know it being more disrupted by the day, people just want to know when we’ll have a coronavirus vaccine. Unsurprisingly news out of Israel that a research institute thinks it will have one within 90 days was most popular on Twitter last week.
“Yes, in a few weeks, if it all works, we would have a vaccine to prevent #coronavirus,” says Israel's MIGAL Galilee Research Institute https://t.co/2Gk7fNEv40

Also popular was news on Friday out of Tesoro Resources (ASX:TSO) that it was onto something at its El Zorro project in Chile. It hit 23m at 7 grams per tonne gold.
