The OpenZika Project was a perfect example of what researchers could do with Coronavirus, screen libraries of molecules as potential drugs.

Wooow, 1st antibody is out. This is GOOD news
---------------------------------------- ! But, does that mean we don't need to do anything with our machines? If so, disapppointed though  .Folding@home is also working on the coronavirus and is out of GPU work for at least the last 5 or so hours since I first checked. I'm assuming it has to with the Nvidia Twitter account asking people to join with their GPUs (it has 3.6k RT's and 7.1k favs and I'm assuming, several million views). Personally I don't think we need a project for this. There are already other projects working on this and the fact that it is a pandemic means there are tons of pharma companies, universities, labs, etc working on this. The 1st antibody has already been discovered - https://www.erasmusmagazine.nl/en/2020/03/14/...-antibody-against-corona/

Having an antibody is great news especially for making a faster cheaper test. An antibody will not make a vaccine. If the antibody blocks the virus from entering cells then it can used as a therapeutic to help the most sick if it is produced in large volume. ...KRI please cancel all shadow-banning |

MY RETURN TO WCG
----------------------------------------Seems to me, that no one can stay away. Especially in the time of crsis. Yes, I have been tracking whats going on & I'm still angry about WCG for not making access to people to see the numbers about WUs & % about project completion. But friends should not be far, especially in crisis. So here I'm & looking forward to promote WCG, when the new project comes. Like on this post: https://web.facebook.com/Play4Life.hr/posts/2774299769290169 Hi to all & will be writing soon. |

If at all this comes to 'fruition', smells like this is heading for the same well proven crunching platform as FLU1 was, used on 5 or 6 WCG sciences.

That story was from two days ago, yet a Google for "corona antibody Erasmus MC and Utrecht University" returns nothing from major news outlets. |
