#2019nCoV #Wuhan #Coronavirus The dissemination and openness of information are crucial in preventing the coronavirus from spreading. We now have a telegram group to share all updates from different cities in China. Chinese medical authority also releases an app with real-time updated info on the virus.
However, that’s not enough. The communication between the seriously infected area and the rest of the world is still not very effective. Misinformation and lack of communication still happen all the time. This creates challenges for the volunteers who want to help the people in need.
Some Chinese programme developers are building an open-source website where the epidemic area could directly talk to volunteers online, and specify their urgencies instantly; thus the volunteers can establish a direct and efficient connection with the affected area.
We welcome anyone who has the same idea to join us. All the code can be found at GitHub:
