How open-source software is tackling COVID-19 coronavirus especially with regard to hospitals and even Pfizer opening up some of its code

At the linked article below are some of the open-source projects taking on the coronavirus including leveraging off SIR modelling.

Pfizer is one of the Big Pharma drug giants. Historically, it and its rivals are as friendly to open source as Steve Ballmer was when he was Microsoft's CEO. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is now calling on all the drug companies to join forces to battle the pandemic. We still need further detail son this though.
