40 Comments on A global hackathon to take on the coronavirus pandemic | Marko Russiver

  1. I completely fail to see why so many people are not grasping how contagious & deadly the C19 pathogen is. If you have not seen the film Contagion? Do please make some time in your schedule to do so.

    • @Jeffery Barefield The heart attack is caused by low oxygen levels causing the heart to try harder than normal to pump blood to the underfunctioning lungs as as result of the virus. The virus causes heart attacks by attacking the lungs.

    • @Jeffery Barefield

      “seasonal flu is 1.3 %
      … Covid 19 1.8 %
      .. I do real research”

      What sources did your real research come up with? My flu-figure is from the CDC -> https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html

      “my friend mom died of a heart attack and they said she died from Covid 19… Gtfoh”

      And soldiers don’t die from bullets but from splattered-brain-syndrome.

  2. Let’s hack the real story first. The CDC is a joke and they are spreading false information. I want to know why? Am I alone?

  3. Lovely watching and listening to both of you from the mountain of Trentino Italy. I don’t watch television, I prefer to watch Tedx or Ted on YouTube. I like to hear real stories and experiences. Thanks Ted and YouTube. God bless the world, in this moment of difficult time.

  4. If you’re tired of the media lying to us about what’s going on and tired of the tyranny, watch the 2:33 minute interview with David Icke that YT and Vimeo blocked, and will soon be blocked on all platforms! Just type in ‘London Real David Icke’ .

    • @residue junkie
      Someone promoting interdimensional shapeshifting lizards and satanic demons that rearrange the contents of books along with Christian theology is calling me a troll ?!
      Ok Cool, thats a first.

    • @Rebecca Leeman Yeah, someone that knows scripture well enough that I was noticing changes in my bible almost six years ago, and long before I had ever heard of the Mandela effect!

  5. I hope they find a machine learning algorithm that can isolate the 40 proteins that interact with the virus and pick the most effective one for creating a vaccine in killing it, I know the proteins have been found so please dont flame me about that detail.
