Apart from helping getting groceries or medicine for the quarantined, what can programmers do to help in this health crisis? How can we use our skills to aid the effort to prevent spreading of the virus, effort to help the affected or the effort to put the economy back on track when we're through this?

As probably many of you, I notice my attention span being diminished by the usage of internet and social media.

I set a goal for myself to focus on reading more books and long-form articles, but I'm finding it harder to find those which don't spend a lot of words on filler. (as discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17803873)
