Just opened it up on my machine (2019 Macbook Pro)- 65MB with no files opened. No idea how you're getting to almost 10x that.

Edit: My bad, apparently I didn't count all processes.

Yeah - separate labs spread all over the world, using different protocols collecting different data points on different populations and answering to different companies and/or governments each of them with their own laws and regulations. You can't just "get all the data" in this case.

> see if there's a pattern in those we know to be infected vs those we know aren't

You don't know who is infected and who isn't. That was my second point about not having a training set.

Not really - if you can collect enough data to use as input to an ML algorithm, you can most likely diagnose the virus directly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_diagnosis_of_viral_...). ML seems redundant in that case.

And if ML wasn't redundant, you have no training set containing the relevant bio-markers and a binary variable indicating COVID-19 presence.
