We agreed that Les would contact Amity to understand their current status, in particular with respect to the above project (e.g. who is leading the project and involved at the Amity end, the current status) and if relevant suggest setting up a Zoom meeting between the Amity folks and ourselves.
pingeramity.in
No data since Jan 6, 2020. Cannot ping gives unknown host. Email from Amity Sep 4, 2020: i"Also, for our Amity SLAC server, physical access is not possible and therefore we are unable to configure the scripts manually there and hence it is running offline. It will be set as soon as the college reopens." Is there any idea when this may occur or what has to happen before the college is allowed to open?

CovidCovid-19 in S. Asia and US
While the median age for Pakistan is quite young (late 20's to early 30's) and that the fact the population leans to B+- rather than A+- blood both should help reduce the incidence, this would not appear to be a big difference between India and Pakistan. Saqib mentioned that a difference might be in the way Pakistan imposes a hard 2 week lockdowns (enforced by police with barricades) on small areas (e.g. a street in Islamabad) where there is an outbreak. There may also be some under-reporting.
