Its amazing to see Covid-19 competition on Kaggle !
\nCovid-19 is wrecking havoc across different countries , since 2020 . In India we faced second wave of Covid-19 which targeted mainly people in the age group of 18-45 . We lost lot of lives . The problem is with different mutants of Covid-19 , potentially the double mutant can cause the harm to lungs in 3-4 days as much as the non mutant strain can cause in 7-8 days.
The key challenge that this competition is trying to solve is early detection which will help to fasten up the speed of treatment ! The RT - PCR test can take considerable amount of time and it is much expensive in some countries where medicinal facilities are not efficient and much developed.
\nHence in such cases the application that will be a resultant of this competition will speed up covid 19 diagnosis and treatment.
\nIt will be very proud moment for Kagglers to see their application being potentially helpful in saving lives ! Saving Life is beyond any monetary rewards !
\nReally excited to solve this problem.
\nWhat are your thoughts about this please let me know in the comments .
It's an exciting dataset and competition but we need to stay realistic with the clinical expectations.

\nDiseased lung progression now is seen from day two or three onwards, which means without very fast intervention, Covid evolves requiring hospitalization.
\nEven for those testing negative with symptoms, CT and chest scans are revealing startling findings!
\nAdditionally, second wave and newer variants can turn conditions to bad from mild quickly.
\nUnfortunately, in my country, people admission in hospitals to make CT/Scans are hard to get. Even for a simple X-Ray (chest radiographs).
\nMaybe, in the future, someone develop an app to follow disease lung progression. Even oximeters are not cheap for the population. And those in vulnerable conditions would be the more affected as always.
