Phlanthropic Phriday 51: Ottawa Hospital Covid-19 Emergency Response Fund

With all the talk of vaccine rollouts and possible third waves, I decided this week's contribution would go to the Ottawa Hospital's Covid-19 emergency fund. There is some exciting research going on there, including the development of vaccines for human trials:

You can also read about some of their other ongoing projects on their site and in the description of the fund itself:

A lot of the eventual outcome seems to hinge on a race between vaccinations and emerging variants of the virus - the three V's if you will. Still, we know more than we did a year ago and ultimately I expect we'll vanquish the virus.
