Folding @ Home against COVID-19
For those of us with a PC and always on connection to the internet.
We can actually help with finding a cure and battling the Virus.
I recommend anyone who has an Always On internet connection and doesn't have to pay for data caps. Please download and install this program.

The way it works is that Folding uses some of your PC's computing power and helps to simulate the folding or unfolding of proteins in order to map how they will react. This allows for labs to try and find ways to battle a wide range of diseases like COVID-19.
If you have a working PC, the net and no data cap then please pitch in by getting the program and let your PC help fight for the cures for a range of ailments.
