Folks, military physician here, operating at the national level on the analysis that informs these projects. The recent post on HN about the MIT $100 ventilator is one of the things that got this rolling. Manufacturing is spinning up. What I really need is developers on this project: https://github.com/joshua-s/coronavirus-diary https://github.com/joshua-s/coronavirus-diary

Josh you should put a call to action on the repo. There are no issues listed. I don't see links to anywhere that would let me help listed on the readme.

Wow...really? A MIT project with HN post is what kicked this off. As in...no one thought of this until then?

From the README file on the coronavirus-diary: Coronavirus Diary is a mobile application that allows users to record their medical status, location, and activities to an encrypted vault on their device. If the user experiences symptoms in line with the disease, they will be prompted to contact their physician. In the case that a user contracts the disease, they can release their historical data to a physician to aid in treatment, research, and containment effort.

How can I contact you? There is an app already in use in the Netherlands. They are field testing at scale and releasing better versions twice a day. Next monday it will be distributed to all hospitals and most citizens. Dutch PBS prime time news had a 5 minute documentary on the app yesterday March 18th.

There are a lot of software projects spinning up -- how do we know that this one is going to see active use? As an example for my concern -- I've had a consistently-updated pull-request[1] outstanding for the JHU data repository for more than a week. It is their prerogative not to pull, but it means my contribution is largely wasted. The coronavirus-diary project has one contributor, no issues, and no pull requests.

  OP here (and no, I'm not josh). We need the project to get from 1 to 2 to 10 to N. That 1 to 2 bit is hard. Please, push a bit. JHU is bandwidth-constrained. Put your effort where it can have effect.
