Coronavirus missing #18

Closed Michal-Mikolas closed 4 years ago

Michal-Mikolas commented 4 years ago

I can't see "Coronavirus" in the select menu. There is only "Any desease", "Alzheimer", "Huntington", "Cancer" and "Parkinson".

I am sorry, but in the current situation I want to share my PC power ONLY for Coronavirus.

There's no category for it (yet?) Its part of pool "Any disease" currently.

Michal-Mikolas commented 4 years ago

So shouldn't the category be rather called "Other diseases" then "Any disease" ?

dimon222 commented 4 years ago

I might assume its placeholder to make sure compute power is spent at anything available in F@H. They did mention that new client is being worked on. Perhaps it might be there, as currently categories are hardcoded.

Here's FAQ about COVID specifically btw https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32463

Hi folks! We're getting a huge influx of interest, and we need to keep this issue tracker clear for scientific discussions among labs working on COVID-19 targeting, so I've just added new info on where to submit questions/issues like this. Could you re-file your issue in the appropriate place?

Thanks so much for understanding, and thanks for helping us out!
