Although COVID-19 infection spreads in the United States, it was difficult to collect accurate data for each county, so information was being collected via Facebook. The survey, with the cooperation of Carnegie Mellon University, asks Facebook users opt-in questions about fever, cough, shortness of breath, loss of smell, etc. The user's response is sent to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University instead of Facebook, which makes it possible to 'reach areas where patients are increasing,' 'how many days will patients appear in hospitals,' and 'where successful suppression was achieved?' It was thought that it would be possible to make early predictions such as 'somewhere.'
Actually, in the United States, about 1 million responses are received each week. The collected data has been confirmed to correlate with data from infected cases by public institutions, indicating that the collected data is useful for predicting the epidemic of COVID-19. It is also possible to see detailed data such as '2 to 3% of people who have symptoms of COVID-19 in a certain area of New York City'. From this data, Facebook has created an interactive map showing the status of new coronavirus infections in each region, and updates it daily during the epidemic.
Below is the map.
