Good places to donate? Volunteer work? Making masks at home or something?

I figure we should do all that we can sooner than later.

StackExchange blogged about a few things:
https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/03/26/ways-to-help-the-fight-against-covid-19-from-home/

stuff they mention includes:

devote computation time to searching for cures:

play a protein folding game that somehow helps research:

I recently took on a temporary position helping a local assisted living facility with quarantine entry screening. You could look in your area and see if any places are hiring for positions like that if you want something to do.

You have to be pretty adamant about keeping your distance and avoiding touching your face and constantly keeping your workspace/hands as clean as possible, though... people who have trouble sitting still might not do well with it.

My suggestion is to help, either physically or with donations, your local non-profits who care, feed and help the homeless, elderly, and those with physical and/or mental problems such as Meals on Wheels, etc. Non profit organizations are really getting hit hard by this pandemic and can use all the support, financial and otherwise, that they can get.

Just gonna say this. When you bury someone its 6ft deep. Your supposed to distance yourself 6 ft from people. I'll let you guys interpret this.
