That's simply amazing. So much science is being done right now! I really hope all the new folders will stay once this crisis has passed. There are so many other diseases where F@H can help.

To put this in perspective, here are the past milestones:
1 petaFLOP in 2007:

https://foldingathome.org/2007/09/18/post-petaflop/ and

5 petaFLOPS in 2009:

10 petaFLOPS in 2013:

40 petaFLOPS in 2014:

Then we hovered at about 90 petaFLOPS through the December, and then a huge number of people joined over the past several weeks (
