        That is the most important article I have read, and that was the exact line in the article which stood out for me as well. To have studied just 2000 of the 700,000 viruses which can infect humans is an existential crisis. This project needs to be funded. https://twitter.com/varun_mathur/status/1238698742653599744?s=21 …https://twitter.com/varun_mathur/status/1238698742653599744 …
