Google searches for "I can't smell" appear to predict covid-19 cases. This could help predict hotspots.

I'm pretty convinced the "I Can't Smell" search data is picking up a high signal of actual cases. I independently looked at same thing. The R^2 with positive tests per capita is 0.86.

Pretty common event with resp viruses and sinus issues

It’s a good indicator you have a resp virus of some sort.
