Ask HN: Stanford students asking, how to help out with the coronavirus response?

Hi HN,

My friend and I are Stanford CS students pursuing biocomp and AI. We are terrified at the thought of hospitals being overwhelmed soon and we want to do whatever it takes to help save lives from Coronavirus in the US.

We have some thoughts on how to proceed, but we are still reaching out to people in the field (gov, hospitals, etc.)

How should we best contribute in terms of problems we should solve? Is there anyone we should talk to?
