https://blog.mapillary.com/update/2020/03/19/Mapping_in_the_Times_of_Covid-19_and_How_You_Can_H.html The above link shows how your competitor in the street view industry, Mapillary, is taking action against this serious disease. But, this is a different story, with OSC. With lockdowns happening, even in my county, will users like me be prevented from taking sequences and uploading them to OSC? Thanks

Mapillary is not our competitor, both our products are contributing to improving OpenStreetMap. No one is preventing you or any other user to contribute data to either platform, OpenStreetCam however is more limited in resources for now to actively drive community engagement in Covid times.
