@josh_jones1 it's early days - I'm amazed that in less than a week we have our core task teams, support teams, outreach and more running, our databases aggregating, our code pool growing and some interesting findings - a lot of the key work, given the nature of the initial data set, is in finding out which of 44,000 scholarly articles is most pertinent to key questions, like "What do we know about vaccines and therapeutics?" or "What is known about transmission, incubation, and environmental stability?". We're working to get results as fast as we can, but we also need to vet those results to make sure they're as accurate as possible.

@josh_jones1 - no one has any clue how to help research community that is basically working 20h a day - self-organization works and it can work at scale - passion trumps frustration - there is a lot of valuable data in the existing research but it's very hard to extract, normalize and present to the people that need it the most
