Folding@Home has a Covid-19 Project!

And I saw DU has a team, team number 48157!

I got started with the platform last night, had to upgrade my GPU's drivers and reboot, then it was able to fold on both my CPU and GPUs.

Let's try to find some treatment targets!

forgotten laundry that needed folding. LOL

It's a subject that weighs heavily on my mind because my laundry room is stuffed with unfolded clothes. I thought you were a fellow folding procrastinator that would relate to my situation.
