Many data visualisations for #coronavirus use an OpenStreetMap basemap of course. Example: https://coronavirus.app/?mode=infected

I finally got around to joining keybase and proving myself on Twitter and GitHub. As with most crypto stuff there's the problem of low adoption but the Proven browser add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/proven/) makes it more useful.

My nerdy brain keeps poking at the idea of integrating the OpenPGP Web of trust with social media. Then I have a lie down and feel much better.
