How best to begin to explore this in a single realistic virtual earth for history - think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Tensor flow - and where we can all add data via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ?

Beard masks might have emerged similarly, e.g. in Sikh world, and beards too (i.e. to not abraid women's faces re intimacy and sexuality) ... and in addition to keeping beard hair out of cheese: :)

Thanks for this conversation. What roles are information technology and machine learning playing with the coronavirus in China. For example, Stanford’s and Duke’s and Google’s and Verily’s Project Baseline play a role even in China: The Baseline #COVID19 Program is scheduling tests for people at high-risk of infection in San Mateo & Santa Clara counties.

Peter, 10:17 AM
Have you seen my post on Twitter about the new Skype Meet Now service? Up to 50 people in a conference call without sign-up or download of Skype.

10:20 AM
Not yet ... will check it out (where?) .. LightStream changed significantly - all your templates on both LightStreams disappeared it appears ... Am hopefully streaming to YouTube with Petros in Athens, Greece, on Monday (and you?) ... but may have to meet in Google Meet instead (with no livestream or Youtube recording).

Welcome to Global Distance Club, with Peter Bothe!


Interesting Skype group video conference today, and here's the text chat (for the record too) from this:

KLUBTALK, 10:10 AM
Actually!

KLUBTALK added Florin to this conversation

11:22 AM

And infinitely close with virtual travel - Skype face-to-face meetings in person :)
FYI - PBS NewsHour full show, Apr 3, 2020

https://youtu.be/a1xYT0VpG-8

What did you think? The China focus at the close of Dr. Tony Fauci's long interview was timely ... and will China even go further into quarantine for decades even?  But is this coronavirus pandemic all a 'fire drill' too I keep asking myself ... (seems like a very viable hypothesis :)

11:30 AM
Ajit, do you teach about supply chains esp? Regarding your Twitter - https://twitter.com/ajitmishra71 - too I wonder about the role of ports, harbor and freight in supply chains - and even with regard to a Realistic Virtual Earth for everything (thinking Google Street View / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow ...) ... what's happening with supply chain in Indian ports (and when quarantine ends too? )


11:34 AM
Is the port of Calcutta / Kolkata, West Bengal, India, a focus of some of your students, for example?

KLUBTALK, 11:37 AM


Ajit, 11:37 AM
For example Haldiya port Kolkata,. JN Port Mumbai. Kandla at Gujrat etc. We have 24 major ports and  near about 100 minor or inland waterways ports.


Ajit, 11:46 AM
Indian doctors has made ventilators in just of MRP $2000 and it boosts capacity of our health and medical services to fight with corona. Our scientists and doctors creatd covid-19 test kit for just $10 and provide results in just 3 hours this help our system to make better medical services in this very crucial time.

So we are fighting with corona in better way.

11:48 AM
coping - face-to-face via Skype versus face-to-face in person ... conversation
?
Great, Ajit!

Kunal Shankar - from India but journalist living in Berkeley (with Columbia school of Journalism) - https://twitter.com/kunalshankar - reported Indians fleeing the coronavirus to the land

Ajit, I find it interesting that it's somewhat difficult to find a non-veggie restaurant in India (in my experience visiting there)

Ajit, 11:57 AM
Yes, you are right, finding non-veggie restaurant in India is little difficult.

In small city it is more difficult.

11:57 AM
Kunal Shankar - This is no exaggeration: India racked by greatest exodus since partition due to coronavirus

https://twitter.com/kunalshankar/status/1244932412829622272?s=20

... and also back to the land for India (an old pattern regarding modernity?)

In India if I am saying about shop, itmeans shop for green vegetables and dry vegitables are different. Shops for grains, pulses and spices are different. Cosmetics store are different. So you have to visit each shop fro each type of commodities. It is not like shop or mini mall.
