We have lunged ourselves over the precipice, many of us find ourselves stripped of liberties for the safety of the most vulnerable in society. These measures are alien to most of us, a pandemic of which the likes has not been seen for a century. But even now, we have millions of doctors tending to the unwell, thousands of working to find a solution, a treatment, a vaccine.
Together we are all working towards that goal, whether that by directly assisting the research, abiding by the limitations placed on us by the state or by dedicating our massive pool of computing resources to the cause. We will defeat this, we will emerge from the other side. I hope that after this is all over many of us will remember the sheer amount of work Folding at Home has put in, and i hope, that you will stick around, folding, doing your own small part in the never ending march of scientific progress. Because only together and united can we dream of a better tomorrow.
I am so proud of every single of of us, from people running a old laptop with an ATOM processor to the more eccentric of us, who dedicate massive numbers of devices folding 24/7. We are not in competition, we are a team. You may feel like folding on your lower power hardware is not as worthwhile as someone folding on 4 2080TIs, but it takes the cumulative force of us all to advance this march of progress. So please, sit back, listen to the pur(or scream) of your rigs and smile to yourself. Remind yourself that this is not wasted power nor wasted money. Bask in the knowledge that together we are making a difference, not only to COVID-19 research but to a plethora of areas. We may not see the benefit of much of this research for quite some time.

The research carried out by F@H allows to better understand not only the enemy that is the Virus' and diseases but also to better understand ourselves and our biological functions.
We have verified around 90% of these, I'm hoping to post a list of invalid forum names and folding names in the next 24 hours so people have time to let me know what needs to be changed.
This list is valid as of 1315 GMT, if you have signed up after this time you won't be on the list but you will be on the sheet. Please wait for the next list update and refrain from messaging me inquiring on the status of your sign up.
If you see an issue please go to this thread and post, if you have already posted a correction don't post another, we will get around to it as soon as possible. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1167867-covid-event-entry-corrections
Just so you all know I am taking a little bit of a breather today, I am about if I am needed but after pulling 12+ hour days for the past week or so I need a little leisure.
