I don’t have it (that I know of…no symptoms) and it’s not a project I’m personally working on…however it is computer related. Amidst this CORVID-19 pandemic, isn’t technology awesome? It enables people to be social while sheltering in place. We have it easy compared to the time of the Spanish flu 1918-1920 that possibly killed 50 or more million people. Of course they didn’t have computers but they also didn’t even have phones. They didn’t have TV or even radio…according to Wikipedia, AM radio broadcasting began around 1920. FM broadcasting was introduced in the late 1930s with improved fidelity. I just saw a doctor (prescription refill related) using a telemedicine (a word my computer thinks I misspelled) phone app to try and lessen exposure by visiting a real doctors office. It was a great experience. The app was Care on Demand by Baptist Health. Saw a real and very nice doctor.
Also I’ve looked into and am intrigued with the program Zoom, given my current limited knowledge of it. It has so many uses right now. One example, teachers can address all their students remotely using distance learning. I haven’t actually used it yet and I know there may be some issues with it. It’s a great time for this company to do right and address these issues, especially while people are told to shelter in place. Their user base has the opportunity to grow like wildfire. There are too many eyes on it right now for the company to try and take advantage of people. The CEO was on GMA this morning talking about it.
We also have YouTube and a multitude of streaming services to provide entertainment and education. Sheltering in place is not too hard for a loner like me. However I know it is for many people. Although lately I need to leave the house more than usual for a sick (not CORVID-19) family member.
