There might well be members of this community who would be keen to help move this project forward one way or another:
https://nextstrain.org/
https://nextstrain.org/ncov
https://github.com/nextstrain/ncov/blob/master/README.md

I'm not part of this project, I just learned of it from this video in which a doctor of pulmonary medicine interprets the data https://youtu.be/XjEacUyp4vY?t=590

Maybe Hackathon-relevant, even though out-of-scope for IETF per se?

Hackathon event could be appropriate, but would need to access the data, not only the software from github.

If that is satisfied, it would be interesting to see which parts of the github nextstrain/ncov software communicates, and whether that has some bottleneck, and how that could be improved. BEcause a better communication system for 'nextstrain/ncov' could speed up the calculation times significantly, on a path to a goal.

('ncov' stands for 'new corona virus' I believe, which is an earlier name for what is now 'covid-2019'; reading nextstrain/ncov makes think that this 'covid-2019' is itself a blanket name over several things; one of them is reported in France on January 23rd, 2020: 'GISAID EPI ISL 406597' also named 'France/IDF0373/2020' https://nextstrain.org/ncov?dmax=2020-01-23&dmin=2020-01-17&s=France/IDF0373/2020)

(if one wants to see what is it called in one's country, then look at the map, memorize the color of the circle in one's country, then press Play, and, as soon as the small circle of same color appears then click on the circle; https://nextstrain.org/ncov)

(then, one might write software to test for presence, provided that data is available, and that hardware test kit is free in pharmacy).
