Corona Response Hub

We are a collaborative platform bringing together projects and resources to fight the #COVID19. Upload projects, request help! #scientists #volunteers #ETH #MIT

[Corona Response Hub @hub_corona]

Corona Response Hub was born because of this #Oxygenator! Check our project in the link below ⬇️ and join our efforts against #COVID19 pandemic. We still need programmers, chemical engineers and process engineers @ETH_en https://t.co/NupJ3YCsX9

People suffering from #Covid19 need air enriched with oxygen. ETH researchers are therefore designing oxygen concentrators that can be easily and inexpensively replicated, especially in low-income countries. https://t.co/pLznDtksOZ

The anxiety due to #COVID19 has passed, but our initiative is still in progress and we are coming out with a new platform very soon! Thanks to our volunteers from the UK and USA!

[Eli Lilly and Company @EliLillyandCo]

Lilly scientists delivered the first doses of our potential #COVID19 antibody treatment, flown to hospitals in several U.S. cities to start the world’s first human study of this kind of therapy to fight COVID infections. #WeAreLilly

Milken Institute came up with another COVID-19 #tracker. They summarize 145 vaccines and 224 possible treatments , including next steps and their results.
As an example mRNA-1273 of #Moderna already showed good results and will start Phase 3 in July.

Today marks the start of the testing phase for the SwissCovid App! Developers hope to get some valuable input in view of a potential launch in June.

#Ventilators

[ETH Zurich @ETH_en]

Around the world, the coronavirus crisis has seen the demand for ventilators soar. ETH researchers have set up a test rig to put newly developed ventilator systems through their paces. https://t.co/mgVFKDh3ih

How did the virus spread across the globe? What are the transmission patterns within Switzerland? On 12 May (4 p.m.), ETH Professor Tanja Stadler @TanjaStadler_CH will shed light on these questions in a virtual, public talk. https://t.co/5MUfeU0h1d

"Over 100 volunteers, who take on challenges despite not knowing exactly what is coming their way..." says ETH professor Mirko Meboldt. Find out how #helpfulETH works #togETHer to serve the medical community during a time of crisis. #ETHAmbassadors https://t.co/sfSLl78iQw

Is #HIV involved in #COVID19?

So far this virus is natural, based on 2 contradictory papers and supported by none! Because there is always a chance of running into a #bad paper, try

More than 20 projects were approved at @ETH_en to fight against the #COVID19. Find out more about their newest technologies and strategies that might be a long-term solution. Do you know about similar academic projects in your country? Let us know! 😀

The latest statistics about #COVID19 show that in average 65% of deaths correspond to #men. But why?

It has to do with X chromosome and ACE2 receptor concentration. In fact sex is a normal risk factor of almost all major causes of mortality!

[Corona Response Hub @hub_corona]

Even under #ventilators many #COVID19 patients died. Why?
High levels of oxygen impair the lung’s air sacs, while high pressure of oxygen damages the lungs. Noninvasive devices already showed greater improvement after 1-2 hours! So maybe more ventilators are not the solution?

[Michael Hengartner @m_hengartner]

Very proud that #COVID19 proximity tracing via app on mobile phones gets broad support: when @EPFL_en and @ETH_en work together, they even inspire major companies like @Google and @Apple - congratulations to @MartinVetterli, @Joel_Mesot and their teams! https://t.co/n3TU2WWIdd

Masks are not the only bottleneck! Check out the #oxygenator challenge of Stark's group here➡️: https://t.co/ObQVwu1EP2

“A rigorous analysis shows that more equipment is needed to enrich oxygen. Especially in low-​income countries, such as the Middle East or Africa, where there are only a few intensive care units available.” https://t.co/SWRWSWWBU4

American Enterprise Institute describes 4 phases that will occur until we return to normality after #COVID19:
1⃣ Slow the spread
2⃣ State-by-state reopening
3⃣ Establish protection then lift all restrictions
4⃣ Rebuild our readiness for the next pandemic

ETH Zurich and EPFL Lausanne launched a new initiative called #helpfulETH. Check their website here https://t.co/tiy9AHffV8

Healthcare specialists can use this new website to report their needs for various medical equipment or describe their problems.

#Ireland 🇮🇪
Check out OVS! It was born as a result of a community discussion within a Facebook group..

⚙️ They developed and designed a simple, low-cost and open-source emergency-use #ventilator, producible at scale to help to treat #COVID19 patients.
