"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.

Great American Revival Industry Task Force
04/15/2020
The Trump Business task force has two tasks. How to respond to the economic damage from coronavirus and how to reopen the economy. The president is fine with reopening parts of the economy at a time, with the federal government working together with state governors - the least risk ones going first, the most risk ones coming last done on the advice of health experts. Testing and virus tracking are key issues in reopening the economy with systems that are both efficient and reliable needed for public to have confidence.

Pope Francis and the call "not to return to the false securities of the political and economic systems we had before the pandemic."
11/27/2020
Two crises back to back in 2010 and 2020 which set back the working class, the middle class and the poor, and the neglect of capital allocation to healthcare, education, infrastructure. Pope Francis calls for a culture that feels others pain, that "gives access to all to the fruits of creation, to the basic needs of life: to land, lodging, and labor." See "Misallocation of Capital" in Top Stories for more coverage.

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.
