How to keep your Zoom meetings safe and secure

Having to deal with passwords and virtual waiting rooms may make for a slightly less friendly interface, but it also means that it’s less likely somebody you don’t know will pop into your family get-together. So if you’re creating a meeting for more than a couple of friends, it’s probably a good idea not to use your usual meeting ID and to generate a separate password instead.

Contact-tracing apps have a trust problem, even if they do protect your privacy

To help track people who've been exposed to COVID-19, technology companies and governments have proposed contact tracing apps as a solution.

What lessons the world can learn from China?

On April 8, China lifted its 76-day lockdown of Wuhan, with trains and flights resumed and highways reopened. The quick containment of COVID-19 in China is impressive and sets an example for other countries. Aggressive public health interventions, such as early detection of cases, contact tracing, shelter-hospitals and population behavioral change, contributed enormously to containing the epidemic. Staggered relaxation of physical distancing measures were also effective in reducing infections.

COVID-19 amplifying inequalities in US

According to Sharrelle Barber of Drexel University, the pre-existing racial and health inequalities already present in the US are being exacerbated by COVID-19. Across the country, deaths due to COVID-19 are disproportionately high among African Americans. Black and Latino communities, immigrants, and Native Americans are bearing the disproportionate brunt of the disease. Part of the reason for this is structural factors that prevent these communities from practicing social distancing

Though, in keeping schools closed, state leaders are making it increasingly difficult for the Trump administration to make good on its commitment to reopen the U.S. economy as soon as possible.

The gamble on the Chinese antibody tests, though, is also a barometer of the desperation British officials felt as public pressure has mounted over their slow response to the virus. Long before the development of an antibody test, Germany, for example, the continent’s leader in containing the virus, began conducting as many as 50,000 diagnostic tests a day to help trace and isolate cases.
