Organizing workshop on COVID-19 data

[Sanjay Chitnis]

Dear Datameet founders and members,

Would you be interested in organizing and participating in an online workshop on COVID-19 data and its use?

Do you think it will be useful? If so, what are your ideas about this? It can consist of expert talks and discussions on how we can contribute to this war against the virus for India and the world.

I work for Dayananda Sagar University, Bangalore and would be happy to collaborate for organizing this.

well all the Datameet  resources are available from here http://projects.datameet.org/covid19/

i am neutral to the idea since there is so much still to be done and don't want to create more noise to already available information, found this website https://helpwithcovid.com/  for folks who are still looking to contribute 

on a personal level i  work on  https://github.com/dimagi/commcare-hq , and will be looking for volunteers https://www.dimagi.com/covid-19/ soon once the contact tracing starts 

Following https://www.tracetogether.gov.sg/ so that they may make it open source, overall i still feel Mobile apps and tech may not be the only solution.

Dear All

There seems to be an emerging consensus that it will be critical to ensure transfer of funds to to the poor and marginalized workers and families that are affected by the lock down. 

We wanted to check if there has been any discussion on using the DBT route for such COVID related support to the poor and marginalized workers and families in both urban and rural areas.... 

While there are a large number of schemes using DBT - it is not very clear as to which ones would be the best route to reach the neediest. 

Also, whether there are any data systems based ways to avoid duplication to he extent possible..

Do pl share any discussions/ efforts already underway - or even ideas in this regard

Thanks and best

Sounds good.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing details of this https://www.tracetogether.gov.sg/. Actually when I read it in detail, I feel what they are doing same thing Indian Govt has started last week through Aarogya Setu App. Similar to Trace Together, Aarogya Setu also recommends users to keep Bluetooth activated so that whosoever user meets can be traced back if he or she gets Corona positive. 

Please suggest if you think differently.

Regards,

Sanjay
