Mobile development is tough. Anyone who has created an app, especially natively, will tell you that. while the tools and SDK`s have improved dramatically over the years, the fundamentals have stayed the same. What is it that makes it so tricky, and why does the lay person assume it`s so easy? The start of the difficulties is the inconsistent nature of mobile devices. The beauty of programming for these devices is that they provide all kinds of sensors and measurements, as well as variety of network connectivity methods for use in your apps. Unfortunately you have no way of knowing what the state of these sensors or data connections will be when a user fires up your app so additional logic must be added to handle a large number of scenarios. Then there is the issue of app design and layout across a number of screen sizes and orientations.
strongly believe that the best possible strategy for containing the Coronavirus is stopping travel and asking people to self-isolate, as it is the only drastic measures that can be taken that result in reduced infection rates.
Recommendations on How the Coronavirus Could Be Contained If Australia Was to Experience an Outbreak:
As Australia is an island, we need to remember that we can take measures to ensure no new sources of the virus are going to come into Australia. As such, if we properly contain all the current known cases, and also enforce strategies at the border, and then we are sure to see a dramatic decline in new cases. Therefore, there are 2 main strategies that should be implemented if Australia was to experience an outbreak; Government enforced isolation of infected people, and screenings for incoming tourists coming off planes/cruise ships.
First of all, in preparation for if an outbreak was ever going to happen in Australia, the Government, the World Health Organisation, and the UN all need to provide funding to build new buildings for the purpose of quarantine. The ideal location for these centres would be somewhere in remote Australia, therefore no-one can possibly incidentally catch it. This would result in much quicker isolation in case of an emergency.
Second, the government should be looking to screen every person coming off a plane/boat looking to come into Australia. As Australia is an island, you are unable to come here just by walking across a border. Therefore, if the Government was to screen everyone coming into Australia for new cases of the virus, there could not possibly be any more cases than we already know about.
Some little things that the Government should be doing that
