We got some experimental cure in Croatia (EU). It will be tested on patients in Rijeka (city in Croatia). The information was given by the head of epidemiology dept., which is part of the "Crisis civil protection headquarters" here in Croatia.
----------------------------------------So the info is "legit", link: https://www.poslovni.hr/hrvatska/vodeca-hrvat...otiv-koronavirusa-4217993 (use translation from Croatian) |

Rosetta@Home is currently running some WUs to help with modeling coronavirus protein. Up to now there are these citizen science projects on Corona: - Folding@Home - Rosetta@Home - Foldit (game) - Tn-Grid - Gpugrid (coming) [Edit 1 times, last edit by [VENETO] boboviz at Mar 17, 2020 4:34:21 PM] |

University of Oxford is conducting a larger scale double blind test with an old malaria medicine, chloroquine. That stuff you can only take 3 months but the participants will be followed for 5 months or until they catch cv19, whichever comes first.

Thanks. That's less than a day's work. "The workunits contain the ACE2 string (not so many, around 800)" ...KRI please cancel all shadow-banning |

I noticed that Folding@Home had COVID19 related work so thought of straying from WCG and actually re-starting my main cluster. But... my initial FAH experience was not very positive. I am used to working fully in BOINC, so with FAH how do you manage or track progress?
After having working professionally with university research computing and a long time with WCG, FAH initially seems second rate. Am I missing something? |
