      Many of these scientists *cannot write a grant*. Many of us are working all day, every day (inc weekends). Grants usually take days - weeks - to prepare. That kind of time is absolutely laughable for #COVID19 researchers at the moment. The lucky among us find a few hours. 4/n

      Those who don't have time to write at all *get NOTHING* & the work they do now is paid only in their sweat, tears & lost opportunities. Those who scrape together a few hours compete against others who are not doing COVID now, operating more normally & could spend days on it 5/n

      These researchers at such a disadvantage are the ones who dropped everything to switch to this. They are glad to help. They work willingly. They are called by duty. They are making your models, testing your patients, analysing your data, informing your govts - RIGHT NOW. 6/n

      And the best outcome for them is a small chance of some money in a crowded field - in a few months. For others, who couldn't scrape together time to write a grant - nothing. Regardless, we do & will keep going, setting aside all other opportunities & work. 7/n

      Life isn't fair. But I, at least, cannot help but look at this & think *there must be a better way*. More funding calls requiring different & long-form applications that take months to process *are not the answer*. Yet each agency in turn strolls out to lay them down. 8/n

      Scientists despair with each because *there is no time* & yet what choice do we have but to /try/ - because otherwise we struggle on unfunded. So stay up late, work harder, tell them the research has to wait... in a pandemic. Is that what we want to encourage right now? 9/n

      *We need a better way forward for #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 funding.* One way might be to reward work *already done* - fast-track SHORT applications based on the incredible research done in the past 3 months to *continue this work*. 10/n

      I talked with another millionaire, who told me before the virus that she wanted to become a known philanthropist. I sent her an email last week and told her that it was a time to shine. She declined to contribute to “causes that didn’t yield a return on investment”.

      🙁 If you know any other millionaires who *are* feeling this is their time to shine, please do reach out - I am compiling some excellent opportunities for people to very directly impact COVID-19 research!! And I'm confident there are investors out there who share this goal!

      Of the many, many millionaires that I know (and whom I keep in relatively frequent touch with) there has been absolutely no interest in funding research. It’s all been about making more than they did during the last recession. It’s entirely stock market talk.

          You have some wonderful investor millionaire friends that are doing the right thing. My contacts have hoarded money out of fear, don’t have more than a few million, and have a scarcity mindset. I have a scarcity mindset too. Perhaps like attracts like.

          I’m hoping that through therapy, I can get into a position of feeling comfortable with myself, even though I grew up poor. If I were in a position to invest right now, heck yeah would I be doing that right away!

          Question, though. Are these investors expecting a return in investment, or are they contributing as a donation? If an investment, will you be required to charge for the vaccine? Do you have board control, or does someone awesome and charitable have board control?

          You don’t have to answer any of these questions! I’m just excited for this, and happy to learn all I can.
