Corona vaccine development

[Jarvenpaa, Sirkka L]

Dear all,  I do not mean to add to the piling email queues  of everyone.

 

I received an inquiry about a site or a community that would be tracking the Corona virus development around the world.. the various teams and organizations involved, etc.. Would anyone know?

 

Please share on this list serv as it might be of interest to several members of this community.

Sirkka

Hi everyone,

 

I accidently only responded to Sirkka before, so here is my response again in case anyone else might be interested:

 

I am not sure about a site/community dedicated to tracking vaccine development but there are quite a few sites providing detailed data on the spread of the disease, deaths etc. 

 

Most of you probably already know the JHU tool: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

 

I also found the following tools to be helpful:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

https://ncov2019.live/

https://app.developer.here.com/coronavirus/

 

 

Please stay healthy everyone.

 

Very best,

Scott

This one is one of the most interesting visualization.

Hi all,

There is a COVID-19 Biohackathon happening, starting from the 5th of April and they have a great summery of resources on their webpage (Bing has a quite nice live map with confirmed cases - although as long as we don’t test people universally we won’t get a good overview of what is going on in reality): https://github.com/virtual-biohackathons/covid-19-bh20/wiki/Resources

The WHO situation report gives a comprehensive summary every day: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports

FYI my background is in virology and vaccine design so if you have any specific scientific questions I am happy to answer them as good as I can.

Best,

Kathi

Hi Sirkka,

This is an initiative that I am involved.

Anna Essen sent a link to a virtual conference that might interest this community

https://hai.stanford.edu/events/covid-19-and-ai-virtual-conference/agenda

 

There are a lot of calls for neighborhood, national and global action which is uplifting just like this NYT piece

Hi everyone,

 

beyond applications and visualizations, I would like to add some links with potential data sources, in case you intend to engage in studies on covid-19-related datasets, providers, infrastructures, or on their meta data (the latter is something I am currently inquiring - and happy to talk about).

 

GISAID offers under EpiCov not only visualizations but also raw data  (including virus sequences and related metadata such as submitting labs and phenotype data related to covid-19):
https://platform.gisaid.org/epi3/frontend#501198 (register with your university account)

 

Data related to covid-19 that is hosted by the European Bioinformatics Institute can be found here
https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/pathogens/covid-19

 

If you would like to research covid-related studies (e.g., meta analysis with NLP on research networks etc.), you can download a large subset here:
https://pages.semanticscholar.org/coronavirus-research

 

Further data (and visualizations) on mutation and dispersion of the virus can be found on https://nextstrain.org/ncov

 

If you are looking into (open source) applications and platforms and SARS-CoV-2 / Covid-19, take a look at 
https://covid19.galaxyproject.org/ (Galaxy is an open source platform with numerous analytic applications for biologists, competer scientists, and chemists, this is provided by an ELIXIR Node)

Additional open source applications in research can be found here: https://bio.tools/

 

Take care and stay healthy,

Hannes

Thanks for sharing Hannes!

 

I would like to add the following data set, which is a collection of COVID-19 related twitter tweets: https://ieee-dataport.org/open-access/corona-virus-covid-19-tweets-dataset

 

We are currently thinking about running some analyses on these. Also happy to discuss.

 

Stay healthy and very best,

Scott

Thanks everyone for the great links to the data sources.

 

Interesting article below on how Germany has done much better than many European countries and the US in terms of fighting the virus outbreak. Very similar to South Korea in terms of results.

 

Why Germany’s coronavirus death rate is so much lower than other countries’ rates
Aggressive testing and contact tracing have given Germany a more accurate understanding of its outbreak.
