<p>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). <br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Has anyone found links to the supporting county-by-county data?<br>
