Project summary
From 2020 to 2022 I published a lot of work on covid, including
Long Covid Is Not Necessarily Your Biggest Problem
Credibility of the CDC on SARS-CoV-2
Coronavirus: Justified Practical Advice Thread
What can a covid test tell you?
And more recently
Nitric oxide for covid and other viral infections
Betadine oral rinses for covid and other viral infections
What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?
Provide information to help people decisions about covid in accordance with their own values and utilities.
Find options that improve trade-offs, such as better treatments.
I achieved this primarily through academic literature reviews, although not exclusively.
How will this funding be used?
Paying for my own time and expenses and that of my statistician (full disclosure: my dad)
Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?
NA, asking for retroactive funding.
What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?
NA, asking for retroactive funding.
What other funding are you or your project getting?
Several of these posts were based on research paid for by clients. However except for the very early work for LW payment never included writing up for public consumption, and Niacin as a treatment for covid? was >90% self-funded.
