Ask HN: Can we repurpose Tinder to fight Covid-19?

7 pointsby cevans01about 5 years ago
After reading this news story of a Yale student and his friend delivering groceries to elderly folks[0], I wonder if we can repurpose Tinder to scale this up.<p>From what I remember, Tinder allows you to set a preferred age range. If young folks set their preferred age to 65-80 and older folks set their preferred age range to 20-40, we can match people in need of groceries with volunteers.<p>Recipients and volunteers will just need to put a blurb in their bio about what they need or what they can deliver&#x2F;provide.<p>[0] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apnews.com&#x2F;bda9c1ed0f8e10742ad2feabb2d52aa2?utm_medium=AP&amp;utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_campaign=SocialFlow

I like this idea, but young people can be carriers with no&#x2F;mild-symptoms and might increase risk?

Tinder should have shut down a week ago. Random hookups are a transmission vector
