maybe...but they have a lot of thing 2 compute be4 it ends (2nd screening)... so finishing a project quicker...OK, I'm up 2 it - but only if a scientist of a project comes & asks us 2 wrap thing up sooner than later!  also, we're contributing on WCG...just on other projects which also needs help!  There is not much work left, so why prolong it? Why should the scientists come and ask "us" to wrap it up sooner. How about the reverse of your view, if the scientists want us to slow down the processing, let them come and ask us! Soon there will only be OET and CEP2. I can careless about OET; I have no interest in it at all. I know people who have had or died of cancer! I know no one that has ever had Ebola and most likely, I never will. OET is just not an interesting project for many. I bet almost everyone here knows of someone that had or died of cancer; so MCM hits a lot closer to home. So why are you suggesting to contributors to leave the project? Completing MCM is far better for humanity than OET is. Here are some facts for you. In 2014, there will be an estimated 1,665,540 new cancer cases diagnosed and 585,720 cancer deaths in the US. Cancer remains the second most common cause of death in the US, accounting for nearly 1 of every 4 deaths. How does that compare to Africa what Ebola is most prevalent for 2014: The number of Ebola cases so far this year (2014): 9,936. How many people have been killed by Ebola: 4,877. These are the official figures put out by the World Health Organization, widely regarded as the authority on the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Cancer kills far more people than Ebola, so why put more computing resources to OET when MCM1 provides more benefit than OET does.

I would crunch it, when it only is/was 1 case.
----------------------------------------There are deseases out there without medics, because there are no profits to earn with. But this is my personal view of things.  |

I think all the projects (past & current) are important. We all have our reasons for crunching one or another or all projects. The important part is that the projects are being crunched and the results are helping the scientists make discoveries/cures faster. Believe it or not, there are people who participate in WCG that don't care about the cause... they're only interested in the points or badges, which I'm cool with, because they're churning out crunched WUs by the truck load. Like I said before, we all have our reasons for participating.
----------------------------------------CJSL Crunching like there's no tomorrow !!! |

The following figures are based on a total number of work units of 350,000,000 from cubes.
----------------------------------------Last 30 day average results: 519,492 Estimated end date using 30 day average: October 6, 2015 Percent Complete: 95.30378% The average length of a WU is currently running about 3.68 hours. If I look at the latest batch I have received, 16667, that would be about 95.24% complete. We are at about 1.05 more months (approx. 31 Days)of additional crunching at the current recent run rate. The days in the past week showed a sizable decrease in work unit time from 3.22 to 3.99 hours per WU. The projected completion date has come four days closer than last week. Production was up this past week with about 4.06 million WU's completed this week. Good crunching everyone. Crunch on.   Cheers

Cancer kills far more people than Ebola, so why put more computing resources to OET when MCM1 provides more benefit than OET does. OET is aimed at a whole bunch of similar diseases, called viral hemorrhagic fevers. If I recall correctly, an OET update says that we are now crunching against Lassa Fever. This disease in endemic in some parts of Africa, with up to half a million cases annually. |

How many trillions have been spent in Africa and what is the result? http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123758895999200083 There is also a vaccine for Ebola. Cancer is still far deadlier than Ebola or in general viral hemorrhagic fevers. From 2012: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs297/en/ Key facts 1) Cancers figure among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths in 2012 (1). 2) The number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70% over the next 2 decades. 3) More than 60% of world’s total new annual cases occur in Africa, Asia and Central and South America. These regions account for 70% of the world’s cancer deaths (1). 4) It is expected that annual cancer cases will rise from 14 million in 2012 to 22 within the next 2 decades (1). So, cancer is far deadlier and impacts all areas of the earth. |

Thanks for the update.
----------------------------------------Both MCM and OET1 are important. Crunch the one you want. And yeah, last updated I recall talked about working on Lassa Fever.  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Sekerob, could you elaborate on that? What are you concluding and what's your source? There's the rather 'clear as a bell' title over one news item but if you missed it [others do read the news ;] "Using one cancer to help defeat many: Mapping Cancer Markers makes progress" |

Guys, let's not hijack this thread (or is it too late already?)!
