**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.[\[1\]](#fn1)

In March 2020, representatives from EndCoronavirus reached out to Michael F. Wells on [Twitter](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/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](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/COVID-19-National-Scientist-Volunteer-Database) as co-director.[\[2\]](#fn2)

EndCoronavirus endorsed the John Snow Memorandum, originally published October 2020 in *The Lancet.*[\[3\]](#fn3)

EndCoronavirus co-hosted the [COVID Community Action Summit](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/COVID-Community-Action-Summit) from January 26-28, 2021.[\[4\]](#fn4)

## Organization

ECV is a member of the World Health Network (WHN).[\[5\]](#fn5)
