[community] How can we help?

[Ushnish Sengupta]

Thanks Pina
I am hoping someone in Canada has put together a website like
https://covidtracking.com/  a journalist and citizen led initiative
providing more information on testing etc. in addition to simply cases and
deaths in the US.

Also in my previous post I should have mentioned the Toronot Police Service
database is called the "Vulnerable Persons Registry"
http://torontopolice.on.ca/vulnerable-persons-registry/
