For @martin re: maps and also FYI @mstn : @napo created a COVID-19 dashboard relative to one region, Trentino, with commune-level granularity data. If your area has this kind of data, you could implement it.
Interesting, tourist places seem the most affected. So closing ski slopes was a good choice.

Right, only when ready. And a card to be rarely played. Maybe just onceā¦
@johncoate: what I do is I send group private messages to those who are part of a specific part of
Iāve been trying with messages to 1-10 people at a time, Iām just not sure they get them - it doesnāt look like Iām getting a lot of responses, but it has to be said that these are the Polish and Czechs and Serbians, whose participation on the forum was happening in their own language with close support from co-nationals community managers. Letās see!

*Mental Health and Surviving Boredom:
In Didi Asks we can offer free online rounds of our game to break the routine of work and ignite meaningful conversations.
Hoping to keep connecting even from the bubble.

My feedback from the open call at this point: I think we should have a weekly open response call, but we also need one for just the team to clarify and condense things.

Apologies for the delayed response! We have the Mid-Term Review meetings for both POPREBEL and FATIGUE this week, so all my energy is going into that at the moment. Perhaps we could touch base about this COVID-19 initiative after our Thursday call?

@HadeerGhareeb thank you! You know Iām a fan of DidiAsks! Iām wondering if you would be able to join one of the calls I linked above? If you can walk the participants through your method then we can all agree on a process for the next weeks, and launch a call!

Hello, I am Yassine Metoui member of the young science association of Tunisia in the IT sector. Because of the circumstances that our country is experiencing, the association young sciences is developing a website which brings together several volunteers on an international scale so that we can help people in their quarantine, help perhaps in the form of donations or simply to answer questions proposed by visitors to the site. In other way the visitors of the site are people who seek answers to their questions or who need logistical help, as being volunteers we can even give food for those who cannot afford to buy or who cannot transport themselves. For this we need several volunteers in all the countries, we have already contacted the Red Crescent and several Tunisian associations and clubs and several communities from Germany, France, Mexico ect ā¦ if you are interested in this project please contact me contact as soon as possible and thank you in advance.
