Fw: COVID-19 Challenge Launch: Global health organizations need your help

[pe...@cyriax.me.uk]

During the lockdown, which may last many months, perhaps we should keep ourselves active and even do something useful (if the council for un-APL activity permits it) by accepting the Covid-19 Challenge.

At least we would gain access to some better data

Cheers
