About a week ago, I posted this short thread and about the need to deal wth COVID by solving the problems it has exposed:
Here, I would like to propose a #CovidCommission - a multidisciplinary committee to devise and contract the work needed. /2

Here, I would like to propose a #CovidCommission - a multidisciplinary committee to devise and contract the work needed. /2
A significant step forward, would be to develop a preliminary list of perhaps 10 of the sorts of advances that could be commissioned, to determine the sorts of skills needed for a #CovidCommission, and the nature of support that work would need. /3
At this point, what I am seeking is proposed advances in public health, engineering, architecture, humanities, arts - any area of human endeavour that can make living in a world with COVID, not just safe but, a better world. #CovidCommission /4
For example: Economic replacement/modification of HVACS in tower blocks to provide safe airflows; The design and manufacture of portable stand-alone HEPA air scrubbers suitable for use in class rooms; Adaption of lateral flow assays to provide COVID alarm systems; /5
Application of online-at home COVID testing; Modification of wastewater piping in apartment blocks to prevent toilet plumes; Improved facemask designs for public use, and their certification; Development of air curtains to replace plexiglass shielding in retail locations; /6
What I am asking you to think about is what you think could make our communities safer in a future with COVID. Tiny House communities for the homeless? Virtual barriers around sporting venues to prevent pinch points? What would make your life better? #CovidCommission
