Build an overly simplified COVID-19 infection impact estimator
This is an eligibility assessment for the 2020 #BuildforSDG program
The assessment empowers me to attempt helping society and leaders prepare for the real big problem of COVID-19, which is its impact on lives, health systems, supply chains, and the economy:
- Too many patients, not enough hospitals and beds. A serious shortage of ventilators, masks and other PPE - if we don’t practice social distancing.
- Job losses or freezes, low cash flow and low production (even for essentials like food). These and more from too many people being sick, a sizable number dying (including some of the best people in many fields), and many others affected by the impact of losing loved ones or a world operating in slow motion
COVID-19 infections doubles every 3 days. Expect 50x (at least 10x) recported cases to be actual number of infected people - Jason S. Warner
