Here is a way to do something about the impact of Covid-19 on Soaring.

COVID-19 Prevention Network (CoVPN) Volunteer Screening Registry is the way to connect volunteers to practical studies related Covid-19.

For example, volunteers, especially older volunteers are sorely needed for Phase III studies of vaccines. Signing up for the registry just lets researchers know that you're open to being asked to participate in a study.

If you're just curious, check out this video narrated by Harrison Ford. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfc2..._source=Eloqua

Or go directly to
https://coronaviruspreventionnetwork.org/ for the facts.

The bottleneck of recruiting participants is delaying the rollout of a vaccine, and you can do something about it.

FYI participants in covid vaccine trials are not eligible to hold a FAA medical.
