Denmark has the 4th highest per capita number of [confirmed] infections worldwide after Italy, Norway, South Korea. This is from a friend I originally made through LW Copenhagen:
”Thanks for the excellent coverage on MR.
I lead a small team of tech workers in Copenhagen, who are donating our time and money towards building a covid-19 self-reporting tool for those citizens not (yet) in contact with health care services.
As countries shift from containment to “flatten the curve” strategies, authorities lose track of the number of non-critical cases, and to which degree people adhere to social distancing dictums. This makes it hard to predict the number if ICU beds needed a few days into the future. We’re aiming to solve this by asking all Danes for daily status updates.
Denmark is a good testing ground, but we’ll open source everything, and are building with developing countries in mind. We’re aiming to launch Monday — currently working on a green light from local health authorities.
We’re determining which data to collect. We’d love it if you’d help by asking your audience: “What daily self reported measures would you most like to see from the complete population Denmark?” (or some variation thereof).
There is of course a tradeoff between data fidelity and engagement.
What we’re considering:
Symptoms
Binary
Type
Severity
Whereabouts
Degree of social distancing
Hygienic measures
Moral
How concerned are you
Do you know anyone who’s been sick”
Are there comparable efforts to do this elsewhere?”
The Danes wish to know more about the coronavirus
