Dear Rob Califf MD, Prof Greely, Peter Norvig and All,
From Richard Dawkins:
"Here's Why It's Taking So Long to Develop a Vaccine For The New Coronavirus"
ROB GRENFELL & TREVOR DREW, THE CONVERSATION 17 FEB 2020

This makes me wonder about:

And could part of the molecular diagnostics involve everyone sequencing their own genome, beginning in the field in areas most affected by the #CoronaVirusCovid19 epidemic, eg Wuhan - in combination with an electron microscopes for diagnostics on our smart phones (thanks again to Harvard / MIT Professor of Genetics George Church) and streaming this data via the internet into avatar bot electronic medical records for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN # (re Wikidata's ~300 languages) with:
Congratulations Hesaam and team!

The WHO site is proving increasingly helpful, communications-wise:

Following up further on the Coronavirus COVID-19 situation, here's a new mapping from the WHO (World Health Organization), which the named CEO of the WUaS Corp / Press (https://twitter.com/IuliuDumitrascu/status/1233448475309826048?s=20) just shared on Twitter. And it's data looks to be very similar to the Johns Hopkins' modeling:

Am wary in an ongoing way of "Orientalism" (a kind of racism) in the representations of all this data, and here too - Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins CSSE ... https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 (where its big red circles presently center on Hubei, mainland China, South Korea, Italy, and Iran) - but am also appreciative of all these new amazing opportunities for access to information!

Are these germane:
5 questions that the head of any of ~200 countries (in their main language) should probably address with regard to CoronaVirus Covid-19 ...

Trevor, N-tFN, Nontheist Friends, Atheist Quakers, and All,
Many thanks for sharing this Nontheist Friends' Network (in Britain) annual conference information at Friends’ House, Euston, London from Saturday 28th – Sunday 29th March 2020 - https://nontheist-quakers.org. uk/2020/02/28/annual- conference-2020-further- update/ - and for keeping us posted.
Will anyone from the USA or other countries be attending the conference? (Apologies but I can't make it this year).
In a non-theistic yet quite friendly-vein (Friendly/Quaker as well), am exploring some of the recent developments concerning CoronaVirusCOVID19 here - https://scott-macleod. blogspot.com/2020/03/ coronavirus-from-richard- dawkins-heres.html. (Methinks the divine / the spirit / or the light, or similar, won't do anything relating to creating a new vaccine for this for example, yet in a caring way, with NtFriendly concern, am curious too what will be successful approaches to dealing with this new CoronaVirus, - and come back to Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church's recent Tweet (in blog post too) -
" https://link.medium.com/ 7zL63vauY3 Thanks Ed. Rapid response capabilities needed: molecular diagnostics, vaccines, neutralizing antibodies, and homes easily converted to off-the-grid full-recycling quarantine-biospheres. Not just for this epidemic, but the next one" -

This article which I just saw yesterday evening gives me great pause regarding B.S. -

What do you think of the medical analysis?
Glad the Boston Globe has endorsed Elizabeth Warren for President - https://www.bostonglobe.com/ 2020/02/26/opinion/globe- endorses-elizabeth-warren/ ( with an interesting perspective on contemporary issues in this election) - and the NYTs too. I continue to think she's the best candidate, but don't know if she could win in this competitive presidential election. So am glad too Biden won S.C. - https://www.bostonglobe.com/ 2020/03/01/nation/joe-biden- wins-south-carolina-primary- propelling-him-into-super- tuesday/
I found too this Richard Dawkin's NYT's post germane:
