Hack the crisis to fight the Corona virus - how I got to tackle the epidemic as a developer

The world is fighting with the Corona Virus. On 13-15 March, Accelerate Estonia and Garage48 organized an online hackathon called "Hack The Crisis" to find solutions to the problems caused by the virus. In less than 90 minutes, over 650 participants signed up. After the event, many similar initiatives started to pop up all around the world.

This video is about my experience of participating as a developer in an event that was truly one of a kind.

In the end, more than 1000 people contributed and some really remarkable solutions were created.

For example:
Ventit Breathing apparatus
Share Force One - workforce sharing platform that connects B2B sides for temporary workforce exchange
Corona-tracker by Velmio
...and many others (find more information from here garage48.org/blog/fighting-the-covid-19-pandemic-w…)
