#introduction I've been hacking unix systems since the mid-80s in a good way, and I try to stay in the unix/free software/open source software world as much as possible.
I build far too many workflows that mix bash, python, awk, sed and golang together to drag data from odd places, polish it up, and put the results somewhere where the sun does shine. With possibly less input safety than is needed ...
For money, I do infosec. For fun, I play Elite:Dangerous and help run the in-universe radio station RadioSidewinder.com.
I also live somewhere that isn't in your timezone, have a family that just wants their tech to work, and look forward to owning electric vehicles.

"… Without end-to-end encryption, Zoom has the technical ability to spy on private video meetings and could be compelled to hand over recordings of meetings to governments or law enforcement in response to legal requests. While other companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft publish transparency reports that describe exactly how many government requests for user data they receive from which countries and how many of those they comply with, Zoom does not publish a transparency report. On March 18, human rights group Access Now published an open letter calling on Zoom to release a transparency report to help users understand what the company is doing to protect their data. …"

Have a meeting in a few minutes and I need to timebox my stuff properly but I'm going to look into this a bit more.
BTW and yes hospitals have a backlog of orders and supply issues of things like face masks https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-18/hospital-makes-face-masks-covid-19-shields-from-office-supplies but need ideas to help prevent community infection (not just self protection ie handwashing)

The crones huddled in their secluded hut, brewing merrily.
They startled as a voice called from the entrance, "Are you well?"
"We are," said one.
"For now," said another.
"Supplies are running a bit low," mentioned the third.
"I can fetch what you need," offered the voice.
"What do you wish in return?"
"The secret to your health."
They agreed, gave the list and it was fulfilled.
"So what is your secret?"
"Wash your hands; now go."

Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word, loneliness to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word, solitude to express the glory of being alone.
