It's one thing to induce our inner defense mechanisms, it's something different from using our cells as a factory like we use bacterias by modifying their dna. Everything is crystal clear, no need to complicate things !

numba is a true horror to use, because supported subset of python language is an ever-moving target and overall small. cython is good but needs time to meddle with. For loop-intensive, simple function I'd advise FFI.

Having worked for a thriving competitor of those brands, I can tell you that the app was not the major factor of success for the company. Our infra, at the time, was retarded, the code quality was mediocre, and we witnessed major downtimes,

yes, great resource. Still, I know there exists and official network of radiation detection in Europe yet data is not accessible (except maybe here [0]) and we would need historical data to see fluctuations over natural threshold (more than

In order to assess the danger you need to monitor realtime exposure to radioactive particles. There is no measurements here. It seems the data exists in Europe but not publicly accessible which is a shame. The Tchernobyl accident released a

Goverments have a problem. People can exchange information without oversight. This is frightening, to say the least.

It's a narrow viewpoint to only see it through the lens of death percentage. Of course it is a game-changer. You eradicate the viral load after 6 days instead of 20+. Meaning : - reduced contagion (avoiding big peak of infections), no

Yes, once they're on a vent, your main problem is not even the viral load, but rather that the body reacts to the infection in desperate ways like cytokine storm [0] which destroys organs. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/w

In those troubled times, a lot of people are just critisizing instead of doing something useful. There is a bibliography studying the effects of chloroquine and derivates to fight viruses. As scientists, the base of our work is to read pape
