Covid 19

Post by Domadea »

Is there supposed to be a Covid-19 option in the options? as when I look all I have is Any Disease, Alzheimers, cancer, Huntington, and parkisions. Not that I'm against helping out with those, but as of now I started this to try and help with COVID 19.

Welcome to the forums!

No there isn't.
Just stick with Cause = "Any", I can assure you that 95% of work handed out right now, for both CPU and GPU, is Covid-19 related. I've been folding for only 4 weeks, and that percentage has gone up significantly.
And, like one of the mods phrased it nicely, what could be the worst that happens - you could accidentally help find a cure for cancer, right? ;)

Excuse me! I would like to ask a question to the experts on Folding Forum about Covid-19.
How many probabilities is that Covid-19 is a kind of artificial virus from P4 laboratory of CCP?
I am looking forward the answer. Thank you very much!

To the extent we are experts, we are experts at helping you install software, not biochemistry or conspiracy theories.

0% to 0.25% (If you were smart enough to create viruses, why aren't you selling solutions?)

As I said, I am not an expert on conspiracy theory in general, so I have not burdened my self with definitions for 'P4' or 'CCP'. I am mostly interested in medical treatments. (and computers)

I grew up during Watergate, the enduring lesson from Watergate is that 2 dozen people can't keep a secret for even a day. (Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.)

Thanks for your answer!
Yes, it's my pleasure to do something about statistics, data analysis and algorithms techniques.
