Dear LiAnna and other Wiki-Edu enthusiasts,
I would like to brainstorm about how we can present information about COVID-19 in educational material for students at the high school and university level. Is anyone working on this at the moment? I am interested in creating the text, but I will need help in creating an interface, landing pages and graphics. Creating an educational material on COVID-19 can be tricky because the facts are being updated on a daily basis, and there are no printed textbooks where we can find a model from. But I am confident that if we have the possibility to update the content from time to time, it will turn out to be an excellent resource.
Right now, I am mostly doing content creation on English Wikipedia for COVID-19, but if there is sufficient interest, I can help with creating a project around this.

I started working on an article that deals with zoonoses, disease outbreaks, and who is in charge, over the past three weeks. The book has valuable information about what could, and did go wrong during five previous disease outbreaks. It is a chronology, and a reference for leaders. I am learning about the relationship between animals humans and diseases. I put the work so far on a blog article.
I participated last week in a webinar by the author. I found online curriculum for a course that Dr. Kahn teaches, and books used relating to zoonoses. I found some of the books used in her course affordable on Amazon.
I have been emailing online information that I found online to a few friends that have stimulated very engaging conversations. Especially, in light of the fact that our parents' generation took germs, viruses, and bacteria seriously. They lived during a period of history when antibiotics were not so prevalent. When I was growing up women wore white gloves.

The field of zoonoses is fascinating. It should be common knowledge.

Thank you. What are you doing to mitigate the privacy risks of such proprietary software in general, and Zoom specifically?
In such a stressful period, I think it's important to protect the vulnerable from such risky tools. https://protonmail.com/blog/zoom-privacy-issues/ https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/what-you-should-know-about-online-tools-during-covid-19-crisis https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/mar/17/remotetools/

Thanks for bringing this up. Everyone should think about their own comfort
level with 3rd party technologies in general. As host, I am not enabling the features to track participants' activities, nor am I consulting any data that may be available to me on individual participants, beyond the name you choose to enter (which is visible to all participants in the call). But I do encourage everyone to consult the links you provided, which I've left below, and decide your own comfort level with using Zoom or any other videoconferencing solution.
