hi, if they have not time , just one minute to write something here or on twitter..?? hmmm

Folding is actiring a lot of people with tweet like these:

Good to see that people are finding their way to Rosetta@home as well (even if the communication is limited)

Folding@home let's their contributors choose a preference of which cause they want to crunch. That's per CLIENT though and they note it's not a guarantee you will only get those. (Being client-based, there is no option for COVID with the current client.)

Folding and probably Rosetta's reasoning is that certain targets require more computing power to complete. Unlike for instance WCG, Rosetta IS the actual project which entails protein folding. WCG is the platform (using BOINC) that various DIFFERENT projects run under. Folding@home is their own project and platform. There was some attempt to make F@H available on BOINC, but the person working on that left the project and with limited manpower...

That said, it would be nice if Rosetta had a similar option to that of Folding@Home with the same caveats...

Without downplaying COVID, Cancer's been here, Cancer is still here, Cancer will still be here when we get past COVID... so there's where my focus will be.

A lot of people are interacting with Folding@Home team on FB/Twitter 'cause the simulations on Coronavirus.
And they are actiring people to their project.
But no interaction with R@H people (only Fold.it is social-active)

Actually, it's because of nVidia. nVidia decided to make an announcement about it without letting Folding@home knowing ahead and they got hit with a rush. The project isn't down but sometimes it may take more than one attempt in regards to feeding work and results. That's happened on BOINC projects too either from high user demand and/or project issues. They aren't Amazon or Microsoft where they can just throw more servers at the problem. Any extra resources have to be configured and ensured to work with the existing infrastructure.
