Tech weapons to fight the coronavirus
We have not yet fully leveraged the greatest technologies of the past decades in our battle with Covid-19.
OVER the past few months we experienced a series of Covid-19 outbreaks replicated across countries in almost identical ways: an initial phase with few infections and limited response, followed by a takeoff of the famous epidemic "curve" accompanied with a country-wide lockdown to "flatten the curve".
But once the curve peaks, governments ask what US President Donald Trump called "the biggest decision of my life" - when and how to manage de-confinement.
As a famous quote, often attributed to Einstein, says, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
