One interesting concern is that there are many of these, and you could make an argument that they’d be stronger and faster in working together. Organizing that on global scale is probably impossible though (you’d need loads of marketing) — so I think local initiatives are wonderful! I’d encourage us to do a bit of desk research & reach out to other teams to ‘steal’ their concepts (or contribute). → For example there are ventilator projects in the US, Finland, and Ireland, as I observed in my network. No shame in taking someone’s design and mass manufacturing it for your community. Which is better in the current state? Spending three weeks developing a great, cheap ventilator design or spending three weeks 3D-printing and assembling 2000 pieces of a design made in New York? I’d suggest whoever wants to help to either a) invest in organizing a complete project group well, or b) consider giving up your own idea and contribute what you do best to someone else! Our goal is to share our knowledge to act fast, save lives, and limit economic fallout…. beyond inventing clever things! (Joe Pacal)

My contributions
- Creatively Connecting Communities
- I want to cross-link all of these separate hackathons!
- Let's combine our strengths & work on this together!
- I'm interested in OPEN communication & sharing of knowledge, data, ideas, results
- RIPE NCC has a wealth of data available, about Internet measurements:
- reachability : https://atlas.ripe.net
- routed prefixes: https://ris.ripe.net
- IP-to-geolocation infrastructure mapping: https://ipmap.ripe.net
- portal & APIs for all of the above: https://stat.ripe.net
- I've helped organise 10 hackathons, resulting in 100's of projects:
- all the code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/ripe-atlas-community-contrib/blob/master/README.md
- all the reports are available on RIPE Labs https://labs.ripe.net/hackathons
- there's a mailing list with the active community:
hackathon-list@ripe.net & https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/hackathon-list/
- here's a HOW TO document: https://wiki.techinc.nl/File:How_to_organise_a_hackathon-January2018.pdf

- The best masks were constructed of two layers of heavyweight "quilters cotton" with a thread count of at least 180, and had thicker and tighter weave.
- Lesser quality fabrics also worked well, as long as they had an internal layer of flannel.
- "You do want to use a woven fabric, like batik," Segal said, "but you don't want to use a knit fabric, because the holes between the knit stitches are bigger."
- In other words, if the fabric allows for a substantial amount of light to shine through, it's probably going to allow tiny viral particles through, as well.

an ICU ventilator is a profoundly simple device. Here’s how it works: the patient is sedated enough to tolerate having a breathing tube secured in the trachea. The breathing tube connects to the ventilator by a hose. As the patient initiates a breath, the machine detects a slight drop in pressure, and a piston-driven cylinder pushes a measured volume of oxygen into the patient’s lungs. If the patient doesn’t or can’t start a breath, the machine will automatically do so after a few seconds. At some point, the machine either successfully delivers the required volume or reaches a maximum safe pressure and automatically cycles so that air can come back out of the patient’s lungs and through a separate hose. Pause. Repeat. Minute after minute, hour after hour. If necessary, for days.

When plotted in this way, exponential growth is represented as a straight line that slopes upwards. Notice that almost all countries follow a very similar path of exponential growth" - and the DROP shows that the "peak" was reached!

- to start lifting restrictions, said Tedros of WHO, must first meet six conditions:
- 1. Disease transmission is under control
- 2. Health systems are able to "detect, test, isolate and treat every case and trace every contact"
- 3. Hot spot risks are minimized in vulnerable places, such as nursing homes
- 4. Schools, workplaces and other essential places have established preventive measures
- 5. The risk of importing new cases "can be managed"
- 6. Communities are fully educated, engaged and empowered to live under a new normal

- "labor is being strengthened by this crisis" https://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-2004/msg00003.html
Labor is now more crucial than capital to beat the virus, however individual workers are expendable. This has to change and the precariat is rising, from amazon warehouses to instacart supermarkets, from deliveroo to wal-mart. Precarious workers now have the power although they are exposed to so many more risks in comparison to white-collar teleworkers. Health, sanitation, cleaning, retail, delivery, food workers are the ones we depend on to survive during the monadic lockdown. No work must be perfomed without protection. Since capital is callous, the ultimate form of social distancing is the general strike. Labor must strike to protect society from business. Precarious people are owed total health coverage, universal social transfers, hazard and sick pay, protection from anti-union dismissals (see staten island) but especially a doubling of the wage that reflects their social value. Bankers and CEOs have never been more useless, it's the bodies and minds of health temps and gig workers who are saving our asses.

Radical reforms — reversing the prevailing policy direction of the last four decades — will need to be put on the table. Governments will have to accept a more active role in the economy. They must see public services as investments rather than liabilities, and look for ways to make labour markets less insecure. Redistribution will again be on the agenda; the privileges of the elderly and wealthy in question. Policies until recently considered eccentric, such as basic income and wealth taxes, will have to be in the mix.”

if people really believed they could participate meaningfully in a mass campaign to care for others and pressure public officials to adopt humane emergency policies, we can be confident that hundreds of thousands would quickly join in.
[historically], it was crucial that participants had a sense that they were part of something larger than the sum of individual efforts. Intentional moves toward unity and coordination help build that collective understanding.
mutual aid, a common story, strategy and structure can allow a mass movement to legitimate political demands that might otherwise be deemed impractical or undesirable, and to compel public officials to adopt them (?) .
ideas like emergency universal basic income, free testing and treatment for all, and suspension of rent and mortgage payments for those unable to pay during the crisis. (FOR ALL!)
But true resilience cannot be achieved alone. Disaster resilience is built on community care and mutual aid.
“Disasters are, most basically, terrible, tragic, grievous, and no matter what positive side effects and possibilities they produce, they are not to be desired … . But disaster doesn’t sort us out by preferences; it drags us into emergencies that require we act, and act altruistically, and bravely.” — Rebecca Solnit, “A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster”

I want to live a good life and I want to risk my life, because I can also lose my life in one night.’ You realise that life has to be lived well or is not worth living.
