As COVID-19 cases surge across the U.S., a group of overseas Chinese tech volunteers is tackling the data gap head-on. Their creation? 1Point3Acres, a real-time pandemic tracking platform for the U.S. and Canada that's become a lifeline for millions seeking accurate info.
🚨 Why it matters: With official agencies struggling to keep up, this grassroots project updates infections, testing sites, and vaccine stats faster than many government dashboards. 💡 Volunteer He Sixuan told us: \"Transparency builds trust—and that's how we'll beat this pandemic.\"
📈 Big win: Even the U.S. CDC gave them a shoutout! An official confirmed they \"use it daily\" and praised its reliability. Talk about validation! 👏
🌐 Global lessons: This story isn't just about numbers—it's about how tech-savvy communities worldwide are stepping up when systems falter. Could this model inspire solutions for other crises? 🔍
