    I think right now's a good time to get where you're going to be for the next 2 weeks+.

    If you are asking about COVID-19, they went into production on that this morning, so no results yet. (My PCs are working on two simulations this afternoon)
    In general, there are drugs on the market designed with F@H results, which are public domain.

    For a layman like myself these titles are cryptic, at best:

    More layman, but still dense:

    We've had several conventions cancel here in SA in the last week. From local retailer to national food chain, even some medical groups.

    My business trip to a convention this week in LA was canceled and my employer has just banned all international travel (domestic travel still allowed, but restricted to essential only). I'm guessing its only a matter of days till I get the "work from home" order.

    Your hyperlink did not go anywhere. Anyway, I used to do SETI, it was a novel idea. I am not sure I would allow that again, cloud computing has advanced so much since then

    This sounds compelling. Then I watch a video by an Italian intensive care response doctor who says that intensive care beds have been overrun in Italy even though they've been converting lots of the hospital beds over to intensive care:


    I don't know what's going on in Italy, but it is apparent that it is much worse than a flu outbreak.

    I don't care for the way the Interviewer baits the medical professional. If this were an earnest interview, this lady would not be trying to sensationalize the story.

    The good gas stations still offer polyethylene mitts right at the pump.

    Usually I ignore them, but I started using them last week. A few in the glovebox for the stations without.

    Physician Dr. Drew on the Coronavirus;



    with the increase in plugins, & public charging stations/J1772 nozzles being an obvious Coronavirus petri dish ... we all ought to be outraged that these stations aren't all shut down & wrapped in hazmat bubbles like @bisco.
    ..... or not

    Dr dufess should shut up

    Does he realize the press is the only thing giving him a voice?
