What about science?
Each week, we curate some scientific articles that introduce a disrupting innovation or a worth-reading opinion.
Recent advances in computing capability allowed the development of sophisticated predictive models to assess complex relationships within observational data.
Apple and Google have provided a number of updates about the technical details of their joint contact tracing system, which they’re now exclusively referring to as an “exposure notification” technology.
Boeckh and colleagues from Fred Hutch’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division research team will manage the study. Amazon will support them with funding and technical expertise and infrastructure.
Faced with staff shortages and overwhelming patient loads, a growing number of hospitals are turning to automated tools to help them manage the pandemic. Maybe they should keep them.
COVID-19 will come to an end without doubt. We will get back to our lives and visit the great outdoors. But that life will be significantly different from the one we had before the outbreak.
