Mark Zuckerberg's foundation is collaborating with Bill Gates' to find cures for Covid-19. Zuckerberg wrote it in a post in which he explains that his foundation is committed to investing $ 25 million "to accelerate the development of treatments". The initiative joined by the Facebook CEO is called "Therapeutic Accelerator" and was launched on March 10 by Gates together with Wellcome and Mastercard with a commitment of 125 million dollars.
The work, Zuckerberg writes today, aims to "quickly evaluate the most promising existing drugs to see which could be effective in preventing and treating coronavirus. Since these drugs have already gone through safety clinical studies - notes Zuckerberg - if they are effective, it will be much faster to make them available than to develop and test a new vaccine. If all goes well, months, rather than a year or more. "
