🚨BREAKING: Good news! #PhysicalDistancing appears to be slowing #coronavirus infections. Hi-tech thermometer firm @kinsa says daily fever readings show that fevers declined with #StayHome measures.
Fevers tend to come BEFORE new #COVID19 cases.

Current map of “atypical” fevers—compared to the norm that occur this time of year (it’s flu season).
🔴RED = high amount of “atypical” fevers since March 1. #Florida still NOT on #lockdown.
🟡YELLOW = low amount of atypical fevers. Look at #California!

👏🏼 LOCKDOWNS WORK👏🏼
Here’s the 7-day trend in DECLINING rate of “atypical” fevers, per @kinsa.
🔴RED = increasing, happening NOWHERE in the US.
🔵BLUE = decreasing (darker is better), happening EVERYWHERE in *every* county!😃

NOTE: this map shows the accumulated rate of “atypical” fevers since March 1 (not just for today).
Fevers = LEADING indicator.
So, although rate of fevers is declining,#COVID19 patients usually take a few days before they get need hospitalization.

So, although rate of fevers is declining,#COVID19 patients usually take a few days before they get need hospitalization.
🔴RED areas indicate likely #coronavirus hot zones. These areas should expect a continued surge in #COVID19 patients over the coming days/~2 weeks, due to the incubation period for #coronavirus + time to get sick enough to need hospitalization.
This map of the last 7 days is VERY encouraging! It shows that the rate of “atypical” fevers (unusual amounts for this time of year) is declining NATIONWIDE.
Our #lockdowns appear to be WORKING.😃

These data do NOT mean we should be reopening (yet), but they suggest:
1️⃣Lockdowns WORK
2️⃣More #COVID19 cases still to come in 🔴 hot zones
3️⃣@kinsa temperature dats, coupled with #coronavirus testing, may be valuable to identify outbreaks EARLY
