Due to the virus tremendous rumours and false news is being spread which can even lead to death, the people actually suffering from the disease are also afraid of getting taurmatized and accused of spreading the disease, we hope to build a ethereum dapp to make a public chain of news incidents in the area thereby making the correct news reach all, preventing fake news from spreading and still keeping the people involved fully anonymous. This can be furthered used by news channels for sensitive cases like rape. Furthermore we plan to make a drug validation dapp from which people can identify duplicate drugs from real ones by scanning their unique private key.
We didn't run into any specific hurdles when it came to writing code but as a duo we faced a lot of problems, at the begining we were trying to make an actions using a web crawler for users to get all the information on the virus at a go, but then we found out that Google has restricted all the actions regarding corona as it was spreading fake news. We also had collaboration problems as we have never practically deployed a block chain project before and as one of our team mates was suffering from diarrhoea and couldn't help much. Regardless we persevered and thought about the problems we faced during this crisis and found that the biggest thing was the tremendous spread of rumours and fake news which made people afraid enough to drink even cow urine. So we decided that if our channel can prevent the fear and fake news from spreading it can provide people with a lot of help during these tough times.
