.........was created by a team of data scientists, engineers, and designers in partnership with epidemiologists, public health officials, and political leaders to help understand how the COVID-19 pandemic will affect their region.
 
This tool is built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response informed by best available data and modeling.
We built this tool to answer critically important questions such as:
• What will the impact be in my region be and when can I expect it?
• How long until my hospital system is under severe pressure?
• What is my menu of interventions, and how will they address the spread of Coronavirus?
 
Who built this tool?
 
CoVidActNow was founded by Max Henderson, Rep Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, Igor Kofman, and Zack Rosen, with medical and policy guidance from Nirav R. Shah (MD, MPH, senior scholar, Stanford University Clinical Excellence Research Center).
 
We have since grown into a large distributed team:
• Max Henderson ex-Firebase/Google Executive
• Representative Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins Alaska Legislature
• Igor Kofman ex-CTO, Dropbox Paper
• Nirav R. Shah MD, MPH, senior scholar, Stanford University Clinical Excellence Research Center
• Zack Rosen CEO, Pantheon
• James Tamplin Founder/CEO, Firebase
• Stephen Fiskell Founder, Commonbook.me
• Zack Rosen Engineering Lead, Stitch Labs
• David Strauss CTO, Pantheon
• Ali Berlin Johnson Ex Lead Designer, Firebase
• Misha Chellam Council on Society & Technology
• Jacob Redding Sr Principal, Accenture
• Joseph Ensminger Founder, J.E. Consulting
• Simon Frid Ex Engineering Lead, Gigster
• Virsaviya Efraim Software Engineer, Almanac
• Andrew Krackov President, Hillcrest Advisory
• Adnan Pirzada Software Engineer, Lattice
• Rachel RoseFigura Software Engineer, Uber
 
Our work has been validated and endorsed by a number of experts in epidemiology, public health, and medicine.
 
Our model is public.
 
So are our assumptions and definitions.
