Google Trends suggests Covid-19 already peaked between March 15-21
- fragsworth 7y agoI'm not saying it necessarily proves it, but I'd like to hear people's takes on this, and how much panic searching might have had an impact.
- Oblouk 7y agoInteresting, looking back further it seems searches for these symptoms are associated with flu seasonality.
- fragsworth 7y agoYeah, it is strongly associated with the flu seasonality. It makes sense considering what sick often people do, their first reaction is to type their symptoms into Google.
- nefitty 7y agoI came to that conclusion. I'm trying different searches that might be more unique to covid-19, like labored breathing. I'm trying to think of other proxies, maybe things like "coronavirus home remedy", etc.
