"Total" contact tracing's key role in controlling the coronavirus pandemic

05/26/2020

The case of Germany, South Korea, Kerala state in India, Taiwan, show it works to limit spread and helps reopening. Britain after some errors is back to contact tracing as the No. 1 mission, India depends on contact tracing to limit clusters and close them off. France and the U.S. are fumbling with the use of apps and discussions on privacy, where Germany moved ahead with only the phone and no app, low tech as in Kerala, but good health systems which the state has invested in. Britain and France, and the U.S. suffered from neglect of their health systems during the years when tech was "cool" and money got misallocated away from essential public services.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
