Well cities across the world are shutting down to help stop the spread of corona-virus tonight many of the best scientists in the world are busy at work their goal find an existing drug that will treat corona virus and they are hopefully days or weeks away not years.
The effort to find a treatment for corona-virus crossing borders creating an unprecedented international collaboration in San Francisco California nine hundred thousand people asked to shelter in place. Can slow the corona viruses corner bars can't exist by itself it needs ourselves in order to survive and it hijacks our proteins in a way that's beneficial for buyers so there's a lot of effort out there trying to develop drugs to target the virus which is great we're taking a different approach. twenty nine proteins in the DNA of the virus and then followed the viruses attack to find which of them are more than twenty thousand proteins it. That information critical narrowing down for scientists where to focus.
Everybody else is looking at a list of twenty thousand proteins we can look at a list of two hundred so to pick the two hundred out of twenty thousand and a focus on those campuses are really trying to accelerate things by years. the results in one week and then depending on what data we have there we would move since one of my models the Sea-hawks five. The scientists just part of the hundreds in labs around the world working together in this new normal of social distancing communicating using a shared folder for information video teleconferencing daily V. as soon to share findings everyone filled with a sense of urgency. Lists of changed this road map while confusing to the untrained eye offers these brilliant minds some direction on how to get to a treatment and surprising them giving them information about how the virus attacks the scientists didn't expect to find.
For the scientific community will be able to a look at our map look at our predictions maybe make new predictions about what's therapies are which drugs could be used to fight these fires in the short term I would say that there is a you know probably at two percent chance that we could identify a drug that is FDA approved and may be it would be well enough understood that it could be used in patients in you know.
