OpenPandemics project now open on WCG

Is there a way to prioritize this project's work while running WCG ?
You can tick it on as only project for. Under “My Projects” in WCG.
like this way in my case:

Looks like the company who is running Open Pandemics, Scripps Research, is making some discoveries about the virus and its mutations.


Mutation could make coronavirus more infectious, study suggests

"
The researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in Florida said the mutation affects the spike protein -- a structure on the outside of the virus that it uses to get into cells. If the findings are confirmed, it would be the first time someone has demonstrated that changes seen in the virus have significance for the pandemic.
"Viruses with this mutation were much more infectious than those without the mutation in the cell culture system we used," Scripps Research virologist Hyeryun Choe, who helped lead the study, said in a statement.

Looks like Scripps Research is in the news again relating to COVID.

The NBA is offering players a 'smart' ring to track Covid. But does it even work?

" A team at Scripps Research is looking into the potential of the Apple Watch, Fitbits, Garmin devices, Oura and others to see if they can accurately monitor a person's baseline temperature, heart rate, sleep and daily movement, and use changes in that data to detect the early onset of an infection. "

I saw Kinsa was also taking the opportunity to monopolize on the COVID situation by making the same claim for monitoring areas with the potential based on people's temperatures...

For those that don't know, Kinsa is a digital thermometer with a mobile app.
