Ask HNs: Help finding OS soft explicitly made to fight the Covid-19 epidemic

1 点作者 rburhum大约 5 年前
Hi all!<p>A number of us (tech startups, volunteers, big-company sponsored task forces, etc.) have been working alongside various government agencies <i>from our respective countries</i> to see how we can help the government response of the COVID-19 epidemic. Having been coordinating for a month with a couple of countries (and having worked in the Govtech space for years), I see a few repeating patterns.<p>For example, most of the response in various countries is done by a (1) Minister of Health organization (where you have a CDC-like department underneath it) that is not super heavily tech-inclined, and which is asking for tech help from a (2) Government Digital Services department that is good at solving generic tech problems, but it is being stretched for resources and sometimes out of their comfort zone with the problems they are being asked to intervene in.<p>Another repeating pattern is that every country has started to write their own COVID-19 self-evaluation and infected tracking app, mainly to reduce every country&#x27;s excessive calls into their official healthcare government phone numbers. Within this environment is that Apple and Google have been aggressively removing COVID-19 apps from their respective stores, unless they have some sort of government-backed documentation. A lot of these apps are open source, which leads me to the question:<p><i></i>Do you know of any good open source applications that have been developed explicitly to help fight this COVID-19 epidemic?<i></i><p>Not interested in startup product pitches (heck, I would put mine in the bucket if this was the case).<p>I guarantee that whatever links you provide might actually make a difference in some country somewhere (at least I will point a few of the relevant LATAM agencies to this post).<p>Thanks!
