Re: Interesting News Articles About Ebola

Tackling Ebola With GPUs

This doesn't look like a method using volunteers with BOINC.

Re: Interesting News Articles About Ebola

First of all WCG does not use GPU.

The other thing in the text is even more scarier.

Re: Interesting News Articles About Ebola

First Ebola Vaccine Likely to Stop the Next Outbreak

The world now has a potent weapon against Ebola: a vaccine that brings outbreaks to a screeching halt, scientists report Thursday in The Lancet.

"We were able to estimate the efficacy of the vaccine as being 100 percent in a trial" says Ira Longini, a biostatistician at the University of Florida, who helped test the vaccine. "It's very unusual to have a vaccine that protects people perfectly."

smile Re: Interesting News Articles About Ebola

So is it now time to close down this project?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-38414060

If they are now going to stockpile the new vaccine I don't see the need to continue with Outsmart Ebola Together.

Re: Interesting News Articles About Ebola

It takes a very long time to immunize a population. Heck, even people with all the advantages in the world skip out on required vaccines all the time.
So we're gonna need at least one cure, and realistically a second.
Mono-therapy would lead to resistances.

Also, we're not really just studying Ebola, we're studying other, similar diseases like the Lassa Virus.

That said, supposedly, we've done the vast majority of the batches, and only these last flexible work units remain. Unless the last WU is needed to interpret the first, I don't see why we can't pause for a while at 90% of compounds tested while we move resources to projects that kill more people per year (TB in particular).
