Hi, Product Hunt Community! 👋 We are a small team of computational biologists and data scientists. In the late 2020, we have found a connection between certain types of HLA molecules and increased risk of developing a severe case of COVID-19. After publishing an article in the “Frontiers of Immunology”, we figured it would be nice to create a free diagnostic tool available for everyone. The ultimate long-term goal for us is to contribute to creating an objective, data-driven and holistic instrument that could improve the existing system of vaccination waitlists – should it be for COVID-19 or other viruses we are yet to face. We are excited to share this tool with you today! Please let us know if you have any questions or just tell us what you think. And thank you for checking BCPRO.APP out! 🔥

Uploaded my Ancestry data -- seems I'm low risk! But is that a low risk of 'getting' COVID?

Hey, @tover_banda! Thanks for checking out the BCPRO.APP! Your low risk score means that in case you get COVID-19, you are less likely to develop a severe case. But please wear your mask, wash your hands and get your vaccine soon – you could still be contagious even if your "very own” COVID is asymptomatic!
