Introduction
As the world continues to battle the COVID-19 virus, it’s easy to feel anxious or overwhelmed. However, it’s also important to recognize the extraordinary efforts of first responders, grocery store workers, healthcare professionals and many others who are putting their personal safety at risk to ensure that we remain safe.
Given that COMM 280 is a class that focuses on technology, I would like you to find examples where technology companies have shifted their focus to provide assistance with the ongoing battle against COVID-19. We have discussed a number of companies this semester and you are welcome to highlight their efforts. However, you are also welcome to highlight other companies who have made a difference in battling this horrible virus.
