Dear
Your example is completely right. For me today, one of the biggest
problem hindering the progress to find a cure for the covid19 disease is
related to copyright. I would therefore like to search for all articles
that match "copyright" and "disease", or "copyright" and "virus" or

COVID-19 is a pandemic that is in the process of infecting and killing many
people around the world. The immediate priority needs to be slowing the spread,
understanding the virus, finding treatments and a vaccine.
COVID-19 is also an opportune case study in areas relating to open access and

Lovely response, Peter.
And, yes, let us remember the example set by Latin America, and in
particular by Amelica. They are now the true leaders of open access.

Dear Mr Archambault,
As far as I consider, today it is rather clear : the solution to find
ways to cure and protect the world from vaccine (not only the
coronavirus that infect us today) will *only* come from novel ideas,

I agree with Peter.
Eric has gone over to the devil.
This is a shameful time for token measures.
Covid-19 is a litmus test for disclosing who are going all out for the public
good and who are in it for themselves.

We've launched a site https://github.com/petermr/openVirus to search the
whole open literature for content which could help tackle the pandemic.
We're looking for volunteers (tech, biblio/library, documenters to help).
