I don't know if this is a dev problem. For sure, help to build awareness. A lot of people still ignore because of fake news.
Is there a marketplace for ideas for fighting COVID-19 or mitigating its effect on people?
Wash your hands! I'm disgusted how many people still do not
wash your damn hands thoroughly, clean your keyboard and cover your mouth when sneezing/coughing!
Sometimes, high-tech solutions from 'developers' isn't needed to combat the deadliest of diseases. Just basic common sense can slow the spread and delay it for enough time for a vaccine to be developed.

Just cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and wash your hands regularly.

resnet-50 pipeline to detect Covid-19 from x-rays and cat scans. We need to perform 60k to 100k tests per day to make social distancing viable. To help perform all these tests computer vision can help.
