Re: COVID-19 needs a Manhattan Project
This virus is, for some, very serious. I live in one of the first affected areas in King County, WA just miles from the epicenter. My personal anecdotal experience: My family contracted it, we are in isolation. For my wife and I, it was serious, especially for me as it progressed into my lungs. Last weekend was terrifying as my condition was rapidly deteriorating and I was struggling to breath. My blood oxygen levels -- we have a sensor unit at home -- dropped below 90 and my pulse rate, which for me, at rest, is normally around 60 went up to above 80. Pleuritis set in and breathing felt like broken glass shards were in the bottom of my lungs. At the covid emergency clinic I went to that my provider has setup the doctors were worried and wanted me to go to the hospital. It looked like pneumonia might have set in, but x-rays, they took, thankfully ruled that out. I am slowly recovering and my blood oxygen levels have climbed up out of the real danger zone where sepsis can begin occurring. They fluctuate in a band between 92-95, and my resting pulse rate has come back down towards 60 again. Slowly but surely I am breathing easier and feel my health & life returning. The pain from the pleuritis has gone way down as well. I am lucky to have very good health insurance and to be working for a large software company here that has been supportive as I've gone through this ordeal and to be in a role that is important especially now. The division I work for enables enterprises to operate in the cloud by providing a hybrid identity service that can protect access to all their on-premises applications/services by enabling authentication/authorization from remote users through our cloud. My wife did not get as sick as I did, but we are both suffering fatigue; our 16 year old daughter probably got this, but hardly felt anything. For many people this may not be that serious, but others are dying. Please stay safe and do your part to help hold the transmission rate down in order to give our over-taxed medical systems the ability to handle the critical load. Last weekend was terrifying for me at a personal level, as I -- like everyone else -- saw thise images of dead bodies piled up in make shift morgues thinkibg I could be one of them. -Chris On Tue, Apr 7, 2020 at 3:37 PM, John Clark wrote: A single vaccine factory can cost half a billion dollars and 44 vaccines are in early stage development, and even after you find one that works and is safe you're going to need billions of doses to vaccinate everybody.

The Manhattan Project brought about nuclear weapons quickly (although with terrible implications for humanity) through an approach that led to countless changes in how scientists from many countries work together. The Human Genome Project and CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) engaged scientists from around the world to drive basic research from their home labs through local and virtual teamwork. Taking this big, coordinated approach to developing a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine will not only potentially save hundreds of thousands of lives, but will also help the world be better prepared for the next pandemic.An initiative of this scale won't be easy. Extraordinary sharing of information and resources will be critical, including data on the virus, the various vaccine candidates, vaccine adjuvants, cell lines, and manufacturing advances. Allowing different efforts to follow their own leads during the early stages will take advantage of healthy competition that is vital to the scientific endeavor. We must then decide which vaccine candidates warrant further exploration purely on the basis of scientific merit. This will require drawing on work already supported by many government agencies, independent organizations like the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, and pharmaceutical and biotech companies to ensure that no potentially important candidate vaccines are missed. Only then can we start to narrow in on those candidates to be advanced through all clinical trial phases. This shortlist also needs to be based on which candidates can be developed, approved, and manufactured most efficiently.* *Trials need to be carried out in parallel, not sequentially, using adaptive trial designs, optimized for speed and tested in different populations—rich and developing countries, from children to the elderly—so that we can ultimately protect everyone. Because the virus is spreading quickly, testing will be needed in communities where we can get answers fast—that means running trials anywhere in the world, not just in preset testing locations. Working with regulators early in the process will increase the likelihood of rapid approvals, and then once approved, a coordinated effort will ensure that sufficient quantities are available to all who need the vaccine, not just to the highest bidder.* *All of this will require substantial funding, which is the big ask of big science. Late-stage clinical trials are not cheap, nor is vaccine manufacturing. Although new modular manufacturing methods may speed up the process and cut costs, a single vaccine facility can cost half a billion dollars. Distribution comes at a cost, too. So, to guarantee sufficient production of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, ince

It seems to me that with this reasoning we should expect to wake up as a bacteria, if not the “virgin” universal machine itself, and sleeping might be irrelevant. Then we can expect to go to heaven, or hell, at any times. I am still unable to interview the machine on the experience of duplication: MW_2 (say) where we are duplicate in three exemplars, one in Moscow, and two strictly identical in Washington (better to be thought as being virtual to assure perfect numerical identities). Most people agree that if the two copies in Washington differ we get P(M) = 1/3, but what if they don’t? Should it be 1/2? The mathematics of self-reference is not yet advanced enough to answer this. That’s the problem when we extract everything from the machine’s theory of self-reference, but it is the only way to keep clearly the difference between the quanta and the qualia. The existence of the measure is (plausibly) provable in ZF + some large cardinal axiom. But the actual computation of that measure might remain for long intractable. It could be quantum-tractable only. As far as I know, your reasoning could correct. Our "limit life” would be abnormal normal, but that might converge to the life of bacteria … What you say is a consequence of your idea of near death backtracking. Possible, but a quite open problem to me. The answer is in qG* and its variants, though, but that is not (yet) tractable.
