Join the Harvard/MIT initiative to fight the coronovirus

A group of scientists at Harvard/MIT started an organization to take action against the coronavirus because most governments are not acting fast enough. Here is the announcement and a call to action:

We could really use an army of volunteer data scientists/ML engineers to help us create content, develop solutions, and reach out to the world. If you are interested, please join us by sending an email to necsivolunteers@gmail.com.
Check out our website if you are interested. We currently have a few hundred volunteers around the globe, but we could really use several thousand.

The key to stopping the spread of the virus is to lower connectivity

You can self-protect themselves, your family and loved ones by reducing the spread of the virus through:

  1. Proper and frequent hand washing
  2. No handshakes and face touching
  3. Keep 1 -2 meters distance to people
  4. Self-isolation, if you got sick.
  5. Do not attend any gatherings of people

Simple but powerful and when done correctly, these steps reduce transmission.

You can read the long story & more details in this document written by Julie McMurry, Associate Director, Oregon State University.
