I don't tend to get political or into world events on here usually, but current events being what they are, the world's having a pretty rough time right now. I hope wherever you all are, that you're taking precautions and staying safe as much as you reasonably can in the midst of the pandemic.

This is off topic for the subreddit, but since many of us with gaming and emulation rigs tend to build out rigs for higher end emulation with processing and GPU power in mind, I wanted to remind (or inform for those that don't know) that these systems can be put to use to do some good in these difficult times to aid in COVID-19 research.

• BOINC with Rosetta@Home (CPU oriented)

• Folding@Home (GPU oriented)

As I said, normally I wouldn't make an off-topic post like this, but I feel we in the community can do a lot of good and potentially help save lives by simply donating our idle CPU and GPU time to a good cause. It could go a long way to helping develop treatments, vaccine, and general triage of the novel coronavirus.
