Re: Apps to fight COVID-19

My volunteer stint at Covid Watch (anonymous exposure notification) is ending. The project is moving into a phase that needs other skillsets. I never got a chance to use LiveCode, though it was 2nd on my shortlist for a simulation that was never created. The 1st was Colab. Dar
