The app languished until Suri, now a 21-year-old junior at Stanford University, got an email on Jan. 24 from Jason Bay, a Stanford alum and senior director at Singapore's Government Technology Agency (GovTech). "My mom had texted me saying, 'You've got to look at this virus in Wuhan and do something about it,'" Suri said, referring to the city in China where the coronavirus outbreak began. "I didn't take it seriously, though, and week later the Singapore government is reaching out."
