Open-sourced Covid-19 testing site search tool and assessment

Great work

Oscar employee, here. I haven't been involved in the company's COVID response (having joined only a few weeks ago), but the efforts of those I know on these tiger teams have been tremendous—spinning up risk assessments, testing locators, and more for both our site (see below) and wider usage (of which this open sourced work is one instance).

Many such teams are still in the thick of it, so juicy hackernewsy engineering write-ups (around the joys of high-pressure requirements definition, slicing code out from a private repo for public distribution, and so on) will have to wait—but hopefully, there will be some public form of them made available when things settle down.

Oscar Health risk assessment and testing site locator. Swift and collaborative work that is making a difference!

Great work! Easy to run.

Setup took me about 10 mins. Most of that time was spent getting a Google Maps API key. You can get it with a free trial here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-a... (but it does require credit card info)

The frontend is nice, but complex (probably due to time constraints, working with what was available). If I forked this for a project, I would just reuse the test site data and credit Oscar (generated to covid19-testing/javascript/test-site-finder/static/data/sites.json)

disclaimer: I work for Oscar (but not on this project)

Incredible tool so crucial to what is needed right now excited to see this being implemented. Hats off to our Eng team here at Oscar for standing this up. Great work Team!
