Comment on Ask HN: As a software engineer, how can I help with Coronavirus?

Comments

Since there are a lot of children on an extended vacation, it is a very good time to arrange a mega online course teaching programming (not a youtube tutorial)

The other thing which is critical is creating a COVID-19 home testing kit or any sort of testing automation / automatic testing pipeline.

The only way out of this situation is extensive testing, but from reading around, the current testing time (from mouth to result) is around 4 days.

I think that testing will be an integral part of daily life until we have the vaccine.

I can also envision that verifying that you are not a carrier, will be part of a day to day procedure.
