It is unbelievable and i totally agree with you Rosewall..

if community's, businesses want to help but feel being stuck isolation means you can not or you have office space with systems that are now idle, maybe you have to use every other desk rather than them all to meet social distance measures and now the office is too big but you still have to pay rent for the space.
Get the landlord on board to contribute in some way..

here is a link about the World Community Grid, sponsored by IBM.

there are ways community and business can help assist in processing data...using old OR donated computers that use processors, even graphic card processors..
There are a number of Community Grid Projects in the world that help scientist process data, Community Grid, scientists get results in months instead of decades, identifying the most important areas to study in the lab, working on Cancer, Zika, TB, AIDS, Ebola and the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

whatamess, the whole world are working on this right now around the clock and even these people are stating 18 > 36 months before anything happens...
i truly hope they come up with one ASAP to end the suffering but when you think how long the world had been working , sharing data world wide, on other potential vaccines that would prevent more deaths than C-19 then one has to start to wonder why,..

"I thought the housing market wasn’t the problem this time.

The Fed just bought a record amount of mortgage backed securities this last week.

It accounted for 84% of its most recent stimulus.

Looks like another part of the economy could be swimming naked."
