Almost 100 million cases and over 2 million deaths due to COVID, and economic devastation on a global scale, the global scientific community will come together for the fifth meeting in the COVID19/SARS CoV2 Rapid Research Reports series, bringing together expert scientists on the forefront of COVID research into viral origins & variation, virus biology, host response, and antivirals & vaccines. Previous meetings in the series were held in June, July, August and November 2020. The series is designed to stimulate ideas and collaborations among scientists with the goal of hastening a solution to vanquish this worldwide disease.
