How can a software engineer help in this pandemic?

1 pointsby eaplantabout 5 years ago
I, like many of you, am a software engineer currently quarantining myself with plenty of extra time on my hands. Does anyone know of a way to contribute to the local, national, or global fight against covid-19 beyond staying at home?<p>It seems like wishful thinking to assume that a web-app could contribute much right now, but I don&#x27;t see any harm in asking.

Trump publicized the app that &quot;google&quot; is building... why not build it for the rest of the country not just the bay area?<p>Requirements: help people understand the probability that they have COVID-19 and step 2 connect them with virtual doctors. Step 3 if the doctor tells them to get tested provide them with the the nearest location and give them an easy way to tell their friends and family.<p>Should be a weekend or less to get that done, and I&#x27;m sure some hosting company would gladly provide free hosting if they have that app with their name on it.<p>cheers!
