Link-Away to ICG Solutions site to:

 

a) Allow users to voluntarily answer a few questions and get personalized information (in accordance with current CDC guidelines) they can use to make informed decisions about staying safe and seeking medical care.

 

b) Ingest individual data, aggregates into useful intelligence, and makes it available via a website with rich analytics and visualizations.   The collected data is meant to sense and analyze the spread and prevalence of Coronavirus before a citizen gets to the point of being tested.  This crowd-sourced survey derived intelligence should provide a new actionable information source that can be used to anticipate demand and help make decisions for managing ever shrinking resources and capacity.
