Here's my vision of the future of public health in the U.S., thanks to @christinemehta@PublicHealthMag.

@samanvayorg and @jssbilaspur have created a tool to guide "trained" frontline workers & care givers (even individuals) to decide whether a person with #COVID19-like symptoms can be managed at home, needs consultation or needs admission.
