The news comes via a tweet, where Netflix announced the release date and a complete list of the cast members. The star-studded cast features an ensemble of familiar names including Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgård, Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska, Sebastian Stan, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke, Haley Bennett, Eliza Scanlen, Harry Melling and Pokey Lafarge.  Directed by Antonio Campos, The Devil All The Time is a Southern Gothic psychological thriller based on the bestselling book of the same name by Donald Ray Pollock. Set in 1960s Ohio, the film follows a non-linear story of compelling and deranged characters who suffer from the psychological damages of World War II.

After his web-slinging escapades in Marvel’s Spider-Man films, Tom Holland will be leading the cast as Alvin Russell, a troubled Christian orphan, in this gruesome and grotesque narrative. Produced by Jake Gyllenhaal, the twisted anecdote will feature a serial-killing couple, a spider eating preacher and a lecherous pastor who preys on young congregants. As of now, Netflix has not updated the release date on their official page. But it should be resolved as soon as possible.

It’s time to build against pandemics

We’re a few years out from the call to action Bill Gates made in his TED Talk on preparing for pandemics back in 2015, yet the state of scalable software for important workflows like data collection and contact-tracing has greatly lagged expectations during the current pandemic.

The Trump administration’s letter to health agencies regarding data-sharing guidelines asked for daily Excel uploads, and manual contact-tracing efforts without software have proven difficult given the scale of the current pandemic. 

Everything is being built right now. 

Research universities are helping build models used by the CDC for case prediction, and that’s brought to light the dire issues around incomplete data sharing between health institutions and governments. 

Dozens of contact-tracing apps are springing up, surfacing design decisions around privacy, the need for newer technologies beyond Bluetooth for near-field communication and leading companies like Google and Apple to strike partnerships to power cross-platform mobile capabilities.

The good news is that the current efforts are taking seriously the need for better software and driving necessary innovation to help society better prepare for pandemics.

How can detailed case data be shared by hospitals with governments to better predict case and mortality numbers, and used to better allocate medical and labor resources? 

How can software help local and state governments make better policies, and help digitize contact tracing while appeasing privacy concerns?

Software has the ability to power many of these capabilities, and it is creating new opportunities for startups to vet the newly formed appetite for better data and digitized workflows on the part of health agencies, local and state governments and other organizations involved in fighting pandemics.
