Internet-connected fever thermometers indicate that isolation is beginning to work.

This "barometer" of health-weather is promising in general...  I am wondering if the fitness watch industry can't offer other correlateable data such as changes in resting heart rate, blood pressure, and in some cases O2 saturation (I owned one for a while that did pO2, but only when removed from band and deliberately held against a fingerpad).   

I've been trying to "guess" what kind of normalization they might (or not) be doing for the sqew in who (can afford to?/is inclined to?) buys and uses these devices.   For example, there is a newly reported spike in cases (and deaths) where my biases have me assuming there is limited adoption of these types of devices.   In fact, many of the rural counties I am familiar with in NM/AZ/UT/CO seem very unlikely to have *any* adoption.

I think this moment in history is an important time for those of us who have a disciplined (this leaves me somewhat out) approaches to data to help with the more subtle challenges of data assimilation/fusion.

Has anyone found links to the supporting county-by-county data?

This just in...  I haven't had a chance to parse through what is
available but it promises to be as expansive as any such list?
