Yes, you can help with the development of a vaccine for COVID-19 (and a lot of other ailments) by lending the spare CPU and GPU cycles of your computer to help process data and analytics towards that purpose via the Folding Project. It's easy and requires nothing from you once it's installed and set up so please lend those spare cycles to finding a vaccine for something that's a threat to us all right now.
