Re: can we all help use our expertise to create an IT solution for Covid-19

Hi all, Many thanks for your contribution. A number of colleagues have proposed existing sites devoted to analyzing this virus mainly in US and North America. Also donating computers etc. although worthy gestures will not be enough. What I had in mind (and apologies if this looks pedantic) is

Re: can we all help use our expertise to create an IT solution for Covid-19

Not sure if this helps, but there is a project where you can donate spare compute resources https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/ Maybe if labs need them we can donate cloud credits as well? On Thu, Mar 26, 2020 at 1:08 PM Denny Lee wrote: > There are a number of really good datasets

There are a number of really good datasets already available including (but not limited to): - South Korea COVID-19 Dataset - 2019 Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (2019-nCoV) Data Repository by Johns Hopkins CSSE

Actually I thought these sites exist look at John's hopkins and worldometers On Thu, Mar 26, 2020, 2:27 PM Zahid Rahman wrote: > > "We can then donate this to WHO or others and we can make it very modular > though microservices etc." > > I have no interest because there are 8 million muslims

"We can then donate this to WHO or others and we can make it very modular though microservices etc." I have no interest because there are 8 million muslims locked up in their home for 8 months by the Hindutwa (Indians) You didn't take any notice of them. Now you are locked up in your home and you

Thanks but nobody claimed we can fix it. However, we can all contribute to it. When it utilizes the cloud then it become a global digitization issue. HTH Dr Mich Talebzadeh LinkedIn * https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw

Re: can we all help use our expertise to create an IT solution for Covid-19

People in tech should be more humble and admit this is not something they can fix. There's already plenty of visualizations, dashboards etc showing the spread of the virus. This is not even a big data problem, so Spark would have limited use. On Thu, Mar 26, 2020 at 10:37 AM Sol Rodriguez wrote:

IMO it's not about technology, it's about data... if we don't have access to the data there's no point throwing "microservices" and "kafka" at the problem. You might find that the most effective analysis might be delivered through an excel sheet ;) So before technology I'd suggest to get access to

Have you taken a look at this ( https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en/test )? They have a visualizer with a very basic analysis of the outbreak. On Thu, Mar 26, 2020 at 8:54 AM Mich Talebzadeh wrote: > Thanks. > > Agreed, computers are not the end but means to an end. We all have to > start

Thanks. Agreed, computers are not the end but means to an end. We all have to start from somewhere. It all helps. HTH Dr Mich Talebzadeh LinkedIn * https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw

can we all help use our expertise to create an IT solution for Covid-19

Hi all, Do you think we can create a global solution in the cloud using volunteers like us and third party employees. What I have in mind is to create a comprehensive real time solution to get data from various countries, universities pushed into a fast database through Kafka and Spark and used
