#  Co-llectif & EUvsVirus
## 🦠 The problem
### Major - Medical risks
We've **all been unquestionably affected** by the outbreak but not more than those with underlying illnesses that pose a higher **medical risk**. These people **fear for their lives**. Catching the virus could **significantly reduce their life expectancy**. However, they still need to perform their **day-to-day tasks** such as, **picking up medications**, **getting groceries**...and those who lack a close social network or family support sometimes **don't want to ask** neighbours or feel that they **can't**, so they go outside and **take the risk**. And that's unnecessary, because there are **plenty of healthy people ready to help**, **ready to give their time** and who are **happy to do it**.

### Minor Economy
Due to the crisis nearly every **European state** has been placed under **lockdown**. The **impact** on the **economy** has been **disastrous** and many *convenience stores* **may not recover**.

### Minor Environment
The current priority is fighting Covid-19, nevertheless, we still only have **one planet Earth**. We also need to **look forward** to the **future** and **stay aware** of our **carbon footprint**.

## 🎯 The solution
### Major - Medical risks
To **tackle this issue**, our solution **assists people** with medical risks by giving them a **free tool** to **delegate** their **daily tasks** to **volunteers**. **[Co-llectif](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBY3iE4imtE&feature=youtu.be)** is an **intuitive progressive web app** that **links volunteers with those in need of assistance**. It takes just **2 minutes** for you to **drop a help request** which a **volunteer then picks up and assists you**. The geolocation function will **find and match you with volunteers and services** within your local vicinity. People require help can ask for **medications**, **groceries** but also **entertainment** such as books, printed media, etc... They can **safely get everything they need**.

Co-llectif **already exists** in France and has **helped many people** thanks to **thousands of volunteers**. It's an **intuitive** and **scalable** Progressive Web App funded by *West Creative Industries* and the regional government of *Les Pays de la Loire*. Our application **respects the General Data Protection Regulation** by collecting and retaining minimal amounts of data within **the EU**.

### Minor - Economy
**Local shops** will **need help** to **recover** once the lockdown is over. We want to **promote their activities** and **give them visibility** thanks to our platform. If the owner requests it, their **shop** will be **highlighted** on our live map and we'll **encourage volunteers** to **carry out their errands there**.


### Minor - Environment
We want to give the **planet** a **little boost**. When a volunteer is about to embark on a mission, the application will explain to them how they can do it in a **carbon neutral way** and how much of their **carbon footprint** is **going to be reduced**.

## 🇪🇺 What we've done during EuvsVirus
**EUvsVirus** has been a **great opportunity** for us to **get advice** and **feedback** about our project from all over Europe. We've **worked hard** to make our **website available worldwide** and **add new services**.
Many **new challenges** such as, **economical** and **environmental** have been **identified** and we **found solutions** that can **help everyone**. Our team has worked on **new ways to interact** between those in need and those who volunteer.

## 💥 The solution’s impact on the crisis
- **Social**
- People with medical risks get **help** from volunteers.
- They **stay safe** and **don't risk their lives** outside.
- **It's a win-win** for everyone as it means that people will be **more aware and respectful** of **social distancing and personal space**.
- **Economic**
- We **prepare** for the **resumption of economic activity** of local businesses and services.
- **Environment**
- We take care of our Planet Earth by **reducing our carbon footprint**.

## 📊 The value of your solution(s) after the crisis

Once the crisis is over there will **still be people with medical risks**. Even if they **can go outside**, **some of them can't**. We plan to **keep the assistance service** running for these people.
