Use the crisis to solve crisis

Apparently a group of scientists used Summit to come up with chemicals that may stop covid-19.

I do not know if it is protein folding that they did but it seems scientists have access to the fastest supercomputers which I am not sure can be matched by folding@home. Earlier, DeepMind also put forward their own results with AlphaFold.
I find it exciting that you can cure diseases with just computation. I guess in a year we will know who will take the top prize and how
valuable computational methods were to finding a vaccine for COVID-19

Wow, was I wrong about folding@home not to be able to match Summit !! Apparently, it is now more than twice as fast as Summit

I am not sure this is due to the COVID outbreak or if it has always been like this.
In any case, keep up the good work Folders!

The corona virus added so many people that the scientists could not produce enough work for them. That's why my machines are often idle
