      I’m finding that there’s a ton of *volume of talk* about COVID19 and not nearly enough aggregation and synthesis. I’m almost done with a project to comprehensively list all the charitable projects to make & donate PPE to healthcare workers. There’s nothing out there like this.

      There’s a fair amount of medical literature out there, also, and very little *synthesis* into answers to questions.

      Most attempts to draw conclusions about what should be done, even by very smart people, don’t even attempt to pull up all the relevant evidence that a person with Google could find in a day or two of focused work.

      I don’t know a word for the thing I do. I’m not a doctor; I’m not a nurse; I’m not an engineer. I’m a...writer?

      But I do think what I do is worth doing and not being done adequately by default. People taking action to help with the crisis need information to guide their decisions. And not a flood of popcorn news articles, but something more comprehensive aggregating info.

      I’m tooting my own horn a bit because I think the info-aggregation thing I do needs to become bigger than just “Sarah blog posts” and it needs a name & recognition.

      For example, The Atlantic has done something really valuable that I think goes in this category: compiled all the reports of US COVID19 cases, scattered in local news articles and press releases, into a single dataset with a heatmap of US cases.

      It seems that when you get “hey this info is scattered, let’s put it all together”, software engineers spring into action when it’s a process you can automate...and ALMOST NOBODY BUT ME DOES when it has to be done manually.

      There is an incredible amount of value in collecting, analyzing, and distributing data, and you’d be really surprised which numbers there is literally nobody in charge of. Really, really surprised. https://twitter.com/MikellTaylor/status/1246246413865975808 …

      Think http://covid19japan.com  a pretty convincing counterexample, which is a synthesis of local software engineers and also 70+ people doing row by row collation.
