I highly recommend @danmlevy's #ThinkingAnalytically. I've had the honor of collaborating with #RichardZeckhauser over the past seven years. His wisdom truly is legendary! You'll also get a preview of new work Richard & I are doing with @TRaghs on excess mortality from #COVID19.

Google searches for "I can't smell" do seem to be tracking the outbreak pretty closely: https://t.co/bvsSy4EJZX. Look at top states.

How do you uncover a risk that is difficult to quantify? (Like infection rates). You crowd source it. Using google trends and distinct characteristics (smell) you get better data. If you like this I recommend the book “Everybody Lies” by @SethS_D

Ecuador is also the country in the world now with the highest search rate for loss of smell, a common symptom of the disease: https://t.co/244rK8v4Ii. Possible outbreak is far worse there than official data tells us.

Reports are the situation is deteriorating fast in #Ecuador. Hospitals are collapsing because they are swamped with Coronavirus patients. The government is not picking up the dead bodies so people are trying to burn the dead themselves.
