Since the topic is getting derailed let's do it constructively.
Help researchers find ways to attack COVID-19
If you think the government isn't doing enough do more:
Folding@Home:
https://foldingathome.org/
https://foldingathome.org/covid19/
Rosetta@Home:
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/
Throw whatever computer power you have at COVID-19 research (at least a Pentium 4 and 4GB of RAM for Folding@Home. Rosetta is lighter if all you have is a potato).
They need a massive amount of computing power, CPUs not just GPUs as some simulations only run on CPUs.
The work is divided up in tiny work units to be distributed to computers around the world.
Even a 4-CPU i3 can do plenty of useful work so you don't need a 3D graphics card to help.
I got a i3 NUC along with the 1950X and i7/GTX1070 machines and it's doing it's fair share of science. Almost anything helps.
If you're heating your home anyway because it's still cold outside it's not even going to cost you, your house heating system will proportionally reduce, simple laws of thermodynamics.
