We need to have apps to fight coronavirus

Coronavirus

In view of the rapid lockdown that is the need of the hour now, correct information about the spread of the virus can be of real help.

Information is king

Since India is reasonably strong in social media, was wondering if we have apps that will give us customized information on any locality at any given point in time. Here are the pointers:

·        Number of reported cases in a locality

·        High alert places

·        Important government instructions

·        Number of beds available in any hospitals

·        If there’s anyone in my locality who has recently come from abroad

These are just some of the triggers that came to my mind. I am sure intelligent techies can come up with far more robust apps that can really help the people of our country.

Correct choice

This is one of a disease that has to do a lot with making the right choice. We need to educate ourselves more to keep the virus under control.

This too shall pass

If the situation is going to be tough, let us all be tougher to outsmart the disease and see it disappear from the face of the earth. Yes, we are going through a challenging situation but we know that if we fight it together, this too shall pass.
