Recently, my new crown epidemic gradually brought under control, the epidemic is most severe cases also confirmed in Hubei Province for several days reduced to zero, the WHO also claimed that China's prevention and control measures to avoid at least 100,000 cases of infection, but the turning point in China's epidemic approaching, the new crown to the rest of the world the trouble began to appear, and first cult spread in Korea, Japan, after the horrors of the Italian cruise ship is a large-scale outbreak of the UK population immunization strategy, scenes drama is overwhelmed.

This one particular concern is the epidemic situation in the US, as the evening of March 21, the United States confirmed cases of the new crown rose to about 26,000 cases of infection with pneumonia, died more than 340 cases. Since nearly a week, the United States confirmed cases of infection a significant jump, all states spared, the epidemic can be said to nosedive. Many US states have taken emergency measures. California, Illinois and other four states issued a "home made." According to "The New York Times," saying the United States about one-fifth of the population were asked to stay at home as much as possible. Especially with the United States more than politicians infected new crown, the United States capital Washington is also listed as an official government declared a "major disaster area", people in the United States discovered that the epidemic prevention and control, and not as the president as saying Trump to produce a perfect score of respondents, while the worst case, to bring the epidemic panic projected directly on the US financial markets.

This past week the US outbreak of the week, the US stock market is down-style collapse of the week. The three major US stock indexes have repeatedly ushered in a financial break, but under the epidemic, especially in the Internet age, the panic caused by the disaster are often bigger than the epidemic. If you look objectively analyze the relevant data will be found in the United States is also a leading public health care in the world, the United States has 34.7 ICU beds per 100,000 people, while in China the figure is only 3.6. So really as Zhang Hongwen, director said, "We do not need to worry about the United States."

Anti-technology "plague" had become the outlet

Perhaps this is because humans are in a technological era rule everything, so we can see a very special phenomenon, when the outbreak of the government tend to be more inclined to seek support for the scientific community. For example, at the beginning of the epidemic, Ministry of Civil Affairs will request sound manufacturers support community prevention system; and the US government is also currently collaborating with the Silicon Valley, even in order to combat the epidemic, quietly let go of certain restrictions on privacy protection clause to facilitate technology CDC giants to establish the correct model. The case study of its logic, or science and technology-oriented company with false information for the inhibition of public opinion, called stronger than ever. As long as the elimination of panic, then the epidemic will only overcome the problem of the time and cost.

In the anti-technology "plague", the country's science and technology giant is still very hard core, it can be said that China's manufacturers in virus detection, medical image processing, large data transmission chain, etc., have made a great contribution.

And according to the author to preliminary statistics, more than half of the projects are already open source code is also American technology companies need only Chaozuo Ye had a pretty fragrant. And we see that Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter and other seven technology companies issued a joint declaration pledging to fight against virus-related fraud and error messages can be said that common anti-US scientific community "plague" the curtain has been opened.

Google - fight against SARS ancestor of Science and Technology

"Google Flu Trends" ( Google Flu Trends, GFT ) is probably one of the cases of big data and the whole IT industry of the most widely spread, and is often used to demonstrate the advantages of big data analytics. November 2008, Google launched a company to predict the US Center for Disease Control ( CDC project influenza incidence) reported rate target, and in early 2009, Google team in the "Nature" published papers, reports that only 45 analysis flu related keywords, GFT large data model CDC than two weeks in advance will be able to predict the incidence of seasonal flu. From this perspective, Google can be regarded as the originator of the technology the fight against SARS.

However, because the new crown similar to flu symptoms, and the United States this winter influenza pandemic situation there. So Google's model GFT can not distinguish the specific circumstances of the two diseases, it does not play a role in the development of forecasting new crown. But Google's YouTube or work together jointly launched a distance education package called "In the Classroom", can help teachers create online quizzes, teaching organizational functions.

Google will be the next to establish a screening site for the coronavirus, the site will guide people to the test site. In addition, Google will begin to related terms coronavirus provide enhanced information card. Enhanced information card provides symptoms, prevention, and other related local information label, aspects of the user view.

Apple -Siri of identity clinic assistant

According to Apple's latest program, IOS voice assistant Siri will assist the user to the collection of information inquiry and symptoms, Siri will first ask the user if fever, dry cough or shortness of breath and other symptoms, if answered in the affirmative will ask about symptoms seriousness, if a negative answer further asked whether Siri will contact COVID-19-positive people. It is noteworthy that Siri can also be provided by the user based on the symptoms, to analyze the severity forward, to determine whether you need to call 911 emergency calls, if the user says "Call 911", Siri will automatically dial 911.

IBM -Summit supercomputing assist in identifying new drug ingredients

We know the composition and structure of developing new drugs is considered consuming force, and in this regard the development of new IBM crown of the White House will provide a lot of super computing power, and these supercomputers will be used to help predict drug researchers to deploy model to analyze as well as potential drugs or vaccines possible. The project is reportedly a joint NASA, MIT and many other research institutions, and will assess research programs from around the world, is expected to join supercomputing will have an immediate effect.

Microsoft - Remote Office and cloud services fight against SARS

In response to the case of Silicon Valley, a comprehensive remote office, released a free version of Office collaboration software Teams, canceled a number of users limits and also joined the function of video conferencing for the free version. At the same time on the line based on Azure panorama of the epidemic, infection can find the latest global statistics for each country and the United States all through this tool.

So how years of quiet good, but it was OK for us temper before, we can control the epidemic, Wen spent a long trough, because there are medical staff dedication, fulfill the mission more scientific and technical personnel. After the night would like to, we can usher in the spring in independent innovation.
