Respect! Hull Seals is 237247. Ultimately choice of team is just that: it's the folding that counts.

Huh? That thing happened over one thousand years ago. Historic records from that era tell people panicked a little, it was over in a few months and the summer was very nice, lots of parties everywhere. Many interesting sociology articles were written in the following years. Of course, this was all before octopuses gained sentience and launched coordinated attacks against the global fishing industry, later focusing on their own space program and unique kind of deep sea poetry in syllabic metre, which reportedly was very strange.

Huh? That happened over a thousand years ago. Historical records from that time report that some people panicked and bought toilet paper, others stocked up on live ammunition. Many interesting studies have been written on cultural change and human behavior in the time before dolphins and octopuses gained sentience and launched coordinated attacks against cruise liners and submarines, later focusing on their own space program and deep sea poetry in syllabic metre.

Note that team tallies may not update well, as the Folding@Home project is a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

Keeping it real, one of The Hive's command group is a scientist and is working on a cure in a lab around the clock. We're very proud of him and thus the parallels.
Stay safe out there commanders and fly dangerously in here instead!

For Humanity!

It looks like in the past few hours they have spun up a lot more server capacity. No more waiting for work units!

It looks like all the COVID-19 work units are getting addressed, as I'm also seeing WUs for the other projects -- and that's totally fine.

Indeed. No Team 242507 update since the 19th and my donor page simply says "not found".

Sources tell me it was the reason Hamsters got extinct, with all those hamster buyings (german for hoarding).

Hold on a second. I think I know what you're implying here. The great toilet roll famine happened just around the same time as hamsters went extinct? I just hope they didn't come to a sticky end
