Dear Students,
Happy Sunday! Hope you are are staying safe everywhere in the world!!!
As I write this, California is on a full lockdown on what we called a ShelterAtHome with all of us self-quarantined at home to flatten the curve to get COVID-19 pandemic to a manageable place. It breaks my heart to see news from Italy and Seattle and New York in US competing to follow on that path!
If you are still going out, or know people going out and not staying home, please stop them.
Stay Home and do not become a carrier for COVID-19 unknowingly because you are healthy and do not show symptoms. Do you know why? Because we can all contribute to flatten the curve by not spreading the virus too fast so that it overwhelms our healthcare system. That is what is happened in Italy.
(Click picture above for a video about how flattening the curve works)
If your want data and analysis of what is the truth behind this, pass this article by @tomaspueyo, shared 40 million times already and save lives please.
Technology to help manage COVID-19
Am proud of my global friends from IoT Council who came together quickly with the proposal for HygieneGap as Citizen led digital health status solution to manage health response of all actors.
Details here
Rob Van Kranenburg and IoT Council needs you from any corner of the world to collaborate to help combat the pandemic to manage the healthcare resources and actions as a global human community.
Contact the Authors of HygieneGap to collaborate, if you can contribute as a coder, or investor or AI Ethicists or a customer who can benefit from this to manage the pandemic

Meet the HygieneGap Community: On Telegram here or On GitHub
Join our #WeeklyWed for live Q&A about how we can use tech for AI Ethics and help mitigate this pandemic.
Join the YouTube archive of 48+ hours on AI or watch last years 36 hours about Autonomous Vehicles.
I cannot close this newsletter without sharing how I am proud of two of my students :-)
Mamta Narain, who is VP Product Management, Digital at Genpat (IoT BUS20 class alum), Emma (Benyue) Liu , Sr. Product Manager, TigerGraph (Business of self-driving BUS174 class alum) spoke to my Stanford AI Bootcamp class last weekend about AI Product Management.
One of my AI students works at the Children's Hospital and came in and out to listen to the class all weekend hungry to learn AI so she can apply it to her job.

If you still think, you should not stay home or know someone who maybe spreading COVID-19 because they do not have any symptoms, check Jon Hopkins' map of latest cases per country And be sure to watch how and why you should stay home and can help flatten the curve.
Stay safe and join us on WeeklyWed to do our part in the world as technology innovators.
