Coronavirus is Spreading, Fast.
As we climb well past 100,000 cases in the United States, it's clear that coronavirus is spreading quickly. Our team has put together several resources for the public to help keep people informed.

Adder Coronavirus Resource & Spread Map (WIP)
OUR IDEA: WE CAN TRACK THE SPREAD OF COVID-19
Johns Hopkins University has produced a map of people known to be infected with novel Coronavirus across the US, but we had an idea: What if we could know who crossed paths with those people?
WILL THIS HELP THE CDC?
We would appreciate any industry experts to email us at stopcoronavirus@adder.io with their feedback or any contributions they'd like to make on this concept. We need to be sure this is a good plan before we shift focus toward this.
OUR PLAN: USE OUR PLATFORM AS AN EARLY WARNING RADAR
We've been building apps to track vehicles and other IoT devices since 2017, and can adapt our software to help figure out who's come in contact with a person who's carrying Coronavirus.
While we talk to experts in the health field, we're already working on building the apps.
If you'd like to contribute, we'll be adding a github repo of our tracking application to fork as soon as possible.
HOW YOU CAN HELP STOP CORONAVIRUS
Adder is a small startup, with limited developer resources can't do this all on our own.
There's a lot you can do to help us pull this off:
Signup for the app waitlist, download and use it when it's ready, help us fund this effort, and spread the word faster than the virus spreads itself.
