    Sometimes we have a need to fight back, to not feel as helpless against the intangible.

    The former soldier in me has a need to take action against something I can't shoot,stab, or punch.

    So I went hunting.

    I submit for your consideration the following distributed computing projects, which support medical research against CV-19 and other illnesses.

    https://foldingathome.org/

    https://boinc.berkeley.edu/

    Both applications download and process chunks of research data and chew on them in the background.

    I have Folding@home running on my gaming rig ( it can use my Nvidia's CUDA Cores ) and Bionic on my media PC in the living room.

    It isn't much but its something.
