kalianna,
Here’s more on how NASA, and space research in general are helping address issues created by the pandemic:
During a time of isolation worldwide, the COVID-19 Challenge brought people of many backgrounds together to solve problems — over 15,000 participants from 150 countries. They used Earth observation data from NASA and its partner space agencies in creative ways, showing how satellite information can aid in the understanding of the COVID-19 outbreak on both global and local scales. They also explored themes such as the economic and psychological consequences of the pandemic and their impact on society.
What is your risk of encountering the novel coronavirus based on your location? While it’s impossible to know exactly, a group of four friends in Chile wanted to make an app to help people answer this complicated question based on available data.
This team’s name as well as the concept is an app called Panal that people could use to approximate their risk of coming into contact with a COVID-19 patient given their location, and data about that place. It incorporates data from six different sources, including local government health information and satellite data on temperature and humidity.
