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 coronaresponse.geprojects.te…
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. ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/e…
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!

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.
Today sees the start of the pilot phase for the tracing app jointly developed by teams at ETH Zurich and EPF Lausanne @EPFL_en on behalf of the federal government. Switzerland is the first country in the world to use APIs from @Google and @Apple . ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/e…
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. ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/e…

"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 blogs.ethz.ch/ETHambassadors…
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
1⃣ Retraction Watch plug-in
2⃣ Scite.ai

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!

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?

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! apple.com/covid19/contacttra…
Masks are not the only bottleneck! Check out the #oxygenator challenge of Stark's group here➡️: bit.ly/3eljtXj
“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.” fal.cn/37y7B
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

Pooling competencies where help is most urgently needed: #helpfulETH is an initiative of both @ETH_en and @EPFL_en to support hospitals with short-term #engineering solutions. #RapidPrototyping #Coronavirus @ETH_Rat helpful.ethz.ch/
The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has caused massive upheaval to the daily routine of hospitals. Through the helpfpulETH website, the two Federal Institutes of Technology aim to support all members of the Swiss healthcare community. ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/e…

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.
