Today, we are happy to release a COVID19 app that is unlike any others available.

Users contribute information anonymously and get aggregated risk predictions, just like Waze forecasting traffic jams miles ahead on a highway. The data users contribute is statistically combined with public information about respiratory disease and COVID19. 2/
The more people who use HUNALA overall (get it here: hunala.yale.edu), and the more who use it in any particular area, the better it gets. HUNALA is released by @yale and by HumanNatureLab.net. #HNL 3/
Here is our first COVID-19 publication, submitted to @nature on February 18, and thereafter carefully reviewed. It’s out today. It’s got all kinds of goodness. Let’s talk about the role of “imported” cases in “community transmission” in an epidemic. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/
Let’s also talk about travel bans, the use of #bigdata to forecast and monitor epidemics (something my lab #HNL is working on), and the accuracy of Chinese COVID19 case data (which this paper inter-alia also addresses). nature.com/articles/s4158… 2/
This paper reflects a longstanding collaboration between my lab #HNL and colleagues at @HKUniversity and @CUHKofficial, with whom we have been using phone data to study diverse phenomena, including the impact of earthquakes or of high-speed rail on human social interactions. 3/
