Read this in various papers, one recounting they've started to inoculate those of age 60+ with this broad spectrum vaccine to include covering TB.

Many news media organisations have sections re. COVID-19.
----------------------------------------Here's a podcast from The Guardian , a respected UK-based online organisation: Covid-19: how do you find drugs to treat the disease? There's an ask-a-question form there so I asked whether they'd heard of OpenPandemics  They have now. The Australian public broadcaster ABC Radio's Health Report presenter Norman Swan hosts a daily Mon-to-Fri Q&A podcast called CoronaCast . Have a listen and ask questions if you have some. (I haven't asked whether they've heard of OpenPandemics - yet). [Edit 1 times, last edit by Rickjb at Apr 30, 2020 1:30:21 PM] |

Covid-19: what has the BCG vaccine got to do with it? It's an anecdotal theory that the presence of a live virus stimulates ones innate immune response. I've yet to see why an attenuated live polio as opposed to all the rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, influenza, varicella zoster, etc that many of us have been exposed to haven't already stimulated our innate immune system.   ...KRI please cancel all shadow-banning |

there are lots of different projects getting computational hours see here Looks like a lot of overlap with Valencia & Florence. The other projects sound like de novo work that can't bear fruit for years of human clinical trials. ...KRI please cancel all shadow-banning |
