Another consideration might be to make your computational resources available for data analysis related to COVID19. We have made our GPU cluster available to our bioinformaticians for base-calling nanopore sequence data. Centres engaged in ramping up their
sequencing throughput may not have the computational resources to match their data output.

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
We are a platform aiming to redirect scientific resources towards the fight against COVID-19 (<a href="http://crowdfightcovid19.org" target="_blank">crowdfightcovid19.org</a>). This platform has two sides:<br>
<br>
- For scientists at all levels of their career, even if they work in fields completely unrelated to COVID-19: They simply need to fill a form, so that we can be in contact if we need their help. If we need it, it can be as simple as answering a question related
to their discipline, but there are also many other tasks that we may request. There is no commitment at this point, and it takes 5 minutes to sign up.<br>
<br>
- For researchers who are already working on COVID-19: They can ask us to perform any task for them, for free. These tasks can include labor intensive tasks (annotating data, analyzing images manually, etc.), answering questions (from simple questions about
a protocol, for example, to general research questions), or setting up new techniques for them. Everything is coordinated by scientists highly skilled in the field of interest, so the input we need from them will be kept to a minimum.<br>
<br>
Please, have a look to our platform (<a href="http://crowdfightcovid19.org" target="_blank">crowdfightcovid19.org</a>) and sign up if you want!<br>
<br>
And also help us disseminate this initiative, please!<br>
<br>
Crowdfight COVID-19<br>

<div>Dear Daniel, <br clear="none">
It is not a naive question, it is a compelling one. If our facilities will be shut down for months, we should rather think of ways to make them useful to the research community combating COVID-19. Perhaps coordinating with virogists who have already access
to recombinant viral proteins that may be imaged by Cryo-EM, could be a possibility.
