## How does it work?

**Pandemic Pulse** does not alter any persistent data on your hard drive, nor does it permanently change anything on your computer. It is malware in that strains your computer’s resources. Once you start the application, Pandemic Pulse runs background processes that stress your CPU (via [common diagnostic tools](https://github.com/jblinder/pandemic-pulse#acknowledgments) and adjusts your screen’s brightness (by applying an overlay on top of your desktop), based on COVID-19 statistics in your selected region. When you stop or close the application, these processes end completely and your CPU and display return to their original states. The code does not do anything to intentionally damage your computer, however as with any software, please use at your own risk.
