GRINNELL, Iowa –-(Ammoland.com)- Brownells, an 80-year-old, Iowa-based online firearm, and firearm accessories supplier has joined forces with Folding@Home to lend its excess computing power to help combat the COVID-19 virus sweeping across the globe.
Folding@Home is helping with an international effort to understand the molecular structure of the virus in hopes of finding ways to defeat it. Folding@Home has called on individuals and companies with excess server space and computing abilities to help execute computer modeling simulations to help speed up an otherwise huge and lengthy task.
“Our IT team learned about the Folding@Home project and their work using computer modeling to better understand the molecular and protein structure of the virus,” said Brownells IT Director Curt Graff. “We are committed to helping protect our country by virtue of our personal protection and sustainability products, but we see this as a way to support the international community in a time of significant need.”
Brownells anticipates it will donate at least 1,300 hours to the project and run approximately 200 simulations on behalf of COVID-19 research. More information about Folding@Home can be found at www.foldingathome.org.
About Folding@Home
Folding@home (FAH or F@h) is a distributed computing project for disease research that simulates protein folding, computational drug design, and other types of molecular dynamics. As of today, the project is using the idle resources of personal computers owned by volunteers from all over the world. Thousands of people contribute to the success of this project.

Congratulations to the new gun salesman of the year!
I have been running 24/7 SETI@home and Milkyway@home for about ten years now, if not more, and have multi-millions worth of computing credits. Today of all days I receive a notice that SETI is shutting down that part of their program because of diminished returns. Seems ET is not going to be phoning home anytime soon. This now frees my computer up to run my other love, biology, with Rosette@home. This looks for ways to fight disease. What a Cosmic coincidence.
Wow what started out as an interesting article triggered the conspiracy nuts to ripen.
French and Australian Researchers Report Success Against Covid-19
“A renowned research professor in France has reported successful results from a new treatment for Covid-19, with early tests suggesting it can stop the virus from being contagious in just six days.
Chloroquine – which is normally used mainly to prevent and treat malaria – was administered via the named drug, Plaquenil.”

How the globalist elites plan to cull the world population:
– Introduce a virus that is highly infectious, but ultimately won’t kill too many people, just a bit worse than your average flu.
– Hype the pandemic, maximize fear, & impose medical martial law: confine everyone to their homes.
– Conduct door to door mandatory vaccinations during martial law, except the cure’s more deadly than the disease! Bill Gates explains:

The vast majority of US citizens believe anything and everything the media and the government puts out without any thought process, much less reason or logic. This is what has happened with this Corona virus. The sheep are panic buying, just as they’d do if they lived on the coast and a hurricane warning was issued. Instead of always being prepared, as they should be, they wind up panic buying. Then, when it’s over, they cry and complain and expect the government to be their nanny and come to their rescue. This Corona virus scam is exactly what the liberal… Read more »
