There's a smart thermometer company who publishes data about the percentage of people with fevers in given geographic areas.
It's interesting that there is a seemingly similar downward trend in the percentage of people in NYC with fevers ~5 days after subway ridership drops.
Covid takes ~5 days from exposure to symptoms and ~12 days from exposure to hospitalization. Of course, these broad population measures almost certainly impact other diseases as well (no kids at school to spread flu).
My (almost surely too) optimistic hope is that the huge increases in numbers the past week are mainly due to massive testing ramp ups and that the absolute number of cases has already peaked (for now).
