Drugs (a few of them are in Phase III and trials are already ongoing, with some results expected next month) will likely help first. If you can treat the severely sick patients, and even just cut one week out of the 3-4 they need to spend in the hospital, it would be a huge success. In fact I'd argue that most of the problems we are facing are because there is no appropriate treatment. Vaccines will likely take more time, due to long-term effects that need to be investigated (as many mentioned in some other HN story today).
