EndCoronavirus
EndCoronavirus (ECV) is an American activist initiative based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, hosted by the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI).
History
EndCoronavirus began operations on February 29, 2020.[1]
In March 2020, representatives from EndCoronavirus reached out to Michael F. Wells on Twitter offering to assist with responding to the declared COVID-19 pandemic at the local level. This resulted in Kevin Schallert, associated with EndCoronavirus, joining the burgeoning COVID-19 National Scientist Volunteer Database as co-director.[2]
EndCoronavirus endorsed the John Snow Memorandum, originally published October 2020 in The Lancet.[3]
EndCoronavirus co-hosted the COVID Community Action Summit from January 26-28, 2021.[4]
