I worked on a small and simple tracker (https://viruscovid.tech) that cuts through the haze of most data consumption tools on COVID-19 and easily lets you track the COVID-19 status and percentage increase. Hope it's useful!

We are no tech giant but we (YSplit) launched an open source app called 'Lava Manus' in a Corona focused Hackathon the other week so you can track how many times you have washed your hands in a day. It is gamified, so you can see which countries and cities are washing hands the least and most. It is bare bones but it is open source so if any devs want to submit a PR please do!!! We have many feature ideas we have added to issues to get started. App link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/la... And here is the repo: https://github.com/boatengyeboah... Features yet to build: - Reminder to wash hands - Venmo like public feed of people around the world washing hands

We're investing $50K in companies tackling the coronavirus (social isolation, loneliness, overwhelmed medical care, homeschooling, etc): wefunder.com/virus. It's a 12-week online program so founders don't feel alone working alone at home. We have amazing mentors (many YC alums) who you'll be paired with for 12 weeks. We hope you'll have lifelong friends :)
