I remember thinking,' I know how to design websites with big platforms,' so how could I not do anything to help ? they need assistance, immediately and on a really big scale, and I had to find a way to make that happen as soon as possible.

Avi Schiffmann

Avi Schiffmann is an American web developer who built one of the biggest websites for worldwide information on the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. He launched the website, called nCoV2019.live in early January 2020. As of late-April 2020 over 600 million people have visited this website, which was getting about 30 million visitors each day. Schiffmann began teaching himself how to code when he was seven years old, mostly by watching YouTube videos. In addition to his coronavirus tracker, Schiffmann has made more than 30 other websites. He was offered $8 million to put ads on his site, which he turned down.
