Like wearables, which are being used to detect early COVID-19 signs instead of simply counting daily steps.
A new paper, representing early findings of an ongoing study, has found that among people wearing Oura brand smart rings on their fingers, 50 were diagnosed with COVID-19.

We Built an Online Marketplace for Covid-19 Testing
With the aim of making Covid-19 testing much more available, a coalition launched an online marketplace where organizations that needed testing and existing and potential suppliers of testing could find each other. An earlier article described the idea that led to the marketplace. This piece discusses the lessons learned as it launched and scaled up.

In August 2020, we helped launch CIC Health , an online marketplace aimed at making it easy for organizations of all sizes in need of Covid-19 tests to connect with existing and potential suppliers across the country. Its ambition was to aggregate buyers of tests who needed to test large numbers of people so they could interact in person without triggering outbreaks and provide an easier onramp for labs to bring their scale to market by simplifying flows of information, funds, and materials.

Inheriting China policy, Biden will have issues - Marketplace
"I have heard some pretty amazing stories," said Nicole Bivens Collinson, president of international trade and government relations at Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, PA. Among her clients as a trade lawyer are U.S. companies that do business in China. She recalled one of them, a manufacturer.
"When they tried to invest, they were promised they would have great access to the Chinese market, eventually," but they were required to work with a Chinese partner. And there was another catch. "They were told, however, that when they initially invested that 90% of the goods must be exported. So that's what they did. They began manufacturing exporting 90% of the goods," under the impression that eventually they could sell into China.
