How technologies are fighting against coronavirus

Thanks to 3D printers, FabLabs and the " maker community" people is developing and print masks, breathing valves or protective glasses for hospitals or health centers. The fight against the Covid-19 is making people conscious about the situation and makers who love technology are ready to give hope and help.

Some free and totally necessary products are:

Masks                                                                                               Breathing valves                   

In case usual masks are not enough to prevent the virus, the are the breathing valves that can be applied in most N95 masks. There are one-way valves that allows exhaled air to escape through a clear pathway and prevents inhaled air completely by closing it off.



                                                    Protective glasses                             

Eyes are a really sensitive area and when trying to avoid a pandemic virus, it's very important to take all cautions. That's why makers interested on helping the world are working to make the best safety glasses. These may entirely protect the eye area from getting bacteria.

Fever detectors                                                

This one may look like a gun, but it's only to make a more safe environment, detecting who has fever you may detect who has the virus. However it won't be always useful since sometimes there's people with no symptoms carrying it.

Also, there is this other kind of fever detector, that I think it's better because you're saving way more distance. It works simply: According to temperature, the machine will detect if someone's temperature is higher that supposed and will sow you through the camera. Depending on the color of the person sown to you, you will know if this person has fever or not.




                                    Vaccine development                                      

Although no vaccine are yet confirmed for making easier the end of the pandemia, scientist are working hard and doing their best to find the cure of Covid-19.

Localization apps                                             

Scientist and makers are working in all kind of methods to avoid more spreading of the virus. Among them, localization apps. These consists on an app that will tell you it there's people around you that is carrying the virus. We don't know if this is totally possible or if it will work, but what we know is that they're trying their best to make this true.
