Re: can we all help use our expertise to create an IT solution for Covid-19

2020-03-26 Thread Mich Talebzadeh 
Hi all,

Many thanks for your contribution.

A number of colleagues have proposed existing sites devoted to analyzing
this virus mainly in US and North America. Also donating computers etc.
although worthy gestures will not be enough.

What I had in mind (and apologies if this looks pedantic) is to have a
global digital infrastructure that is available across multiple regions on
Cloud. This will ensure that findings and advances are shared, as opposed
to the current fragmented and silo like research that is taking place
across the world.

These communities that we have are amazing in that members share ideas and
findings and have created world class solutions often started from
Universities and research labs and ended up in open forums. The amount of
discipline and collaboration is phenomenal and we should take advantages of
these talents to use them for a worthy cause.

I agree with some that whatever sentiments we have, we need to be put
aside. We don't have the luxury of that. I genuinely believe that we can
create a working model in Cloud pretty fast and expand it  across the globe
as much as we can.

Granted the richer countries have deeper pockets and those are the ones
that can provide the artefacts for free. On that we have not got a choice
and we should not make the solution created geared for one market only. We
have to accept that there will be sceptics all around but that is life and
we will need to accept that.

My point is that if they can build field hospitals in two-three weeks,
there is nothing to stop us building something pretty quick, modular,
pluggable and self contained.

HTH,

Dr Mich Talebzadeh

Not sure if this helps, but there is a project where you can donate spare
compute resources
https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/

Maybe if labs need them we can donate cloud credits as well?

There are a number of really good datasets already available including (but
not limited to):
- South Korea COVID-19 Dataset

- 2019 Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (2019-nCoV) Data Repository by Johns
Hopkins CSSE 
- COVID-19 Open Research Dataset Challenge (CORD-19)


BTW, I had co-presented in a recent tech talk on Analyzing COVID-19: Can
the Data Community Help? 

In the US, there is a good resource Coronavirus in the United States:
Mapping the COVID-19 outbreak
 and
there are various global starter projects on Reddit's r/CovidProjects
.

There are a lot of good projects that we can all help individually or
together.  I would suggest to see what hospitals/academic institutions that
are doing analysis in your local region.  Even if you're analyzing public
worldwide data,  how it acts in your local region will often be different.

"We can then donate this to WHO or others and we can make it very modular
though microservices etc."

I have no interest because there are 8 million muslims locked up in their
home for 8 months by the Hindutwa (Indians)
You didn't take any notice of them.
Now you are locked up in your home and you want to contribute to the WHO.
The same WHO and you who didn't take any notice of the 8 million Kashmiri
Muslims.
The daily rapes of women and the imprisonment and torture of  men.

Thanks but nobody claimed we can fix it. However, we can all contribute to
it. When it utilizes the cloud then it become a global digitization issue.

People in tech should be more humble and admit this is not something they
can fix. There's already plenty of visualizations, dashboards etc showing
the spread of the virus. This is not even a big data problem, so Spark
would have limited use.

 I know this is going to trigger a flood of emails.. but let's examine what
 IT is. It's using computers. Computers are only good as the data inputted

IMO it's not about technology, it's about data... if we don't have access
to the data there's no point throwing "microservices" and "kafka" at the
problem. You might find that the most effective analysis might be delivered

They have a visualizer with a very basic analysis of the outbreak.

Hi all,

Do you think we can create a global solution in the cloud using  volunteers
like us and third party employees. What I have in mind is to  create a
comprehensive real time solution to get data from various countries,
universities pushed into a fast database through Kafka and Spark and used
downstream for greater analytics. I am sure likes of Goggle etc. will
provide free storage and likely many vendors will grab the opportunity.

We can then donate this to WHO or others and we can make it very modular
though microservices etc.

I hope this does not sound futuristic.
