Google release mobility data for each country

[Kentonio]

Makes for interesting reading. The US data is scary when compared to countries like Italy and Spain that are also getting hit hard.

I'm more concerned with the collecting of that data than what the data tells me.

What's the purpose? For travel-itchy citizens wanting to find which country is best to have a vaca??

I'm not even sure what this data is helpful for... We all know more people are staying home now. I suppose we can see which areas are not staying home as much, but perhaps that's because those areas still don't have many cases in which situation it's rather justifiable.

I stopped using Google years ago personally. No Android phone, no Chrome browser, nothing.

To see which countries are following advice to stay home and avoid moving around and spreading the virus.

If areas wait until they are already being hit hard, then its too late. Early action prevents the spread.

Why?

Why?

I have this aversion to being under constant surveillance by a huge corporate entity.

Wow, I thought my county in NY was doing pretty good, but definitely not compared to Italy and Spain.

More for those in charge of public health to assess their community's likelihood of community spread of the virus.

But so many areas have waited that the point is practically moot now. We may help flatten the peak, but I doubt that's even likely the way most Americans are acting. I was shocked how many businesses in my area are re-opening despite the virus and despite the warnings that these next two weeks may be the worst.
