Article Synopsis
- Web search data can indicate COVID-19 outbreaks, but the effects of media coverage and co-morbid conditions on symptom searches need attention to avoid inaccuracies.
- A machine learning model was created to analyze how these factors influence online searches, allowing for dynamic simulations of COVID-19 infection rates in Australia and New Zealand.
- The findings revealed that a majority of symptom searches were influenced by media and co-morbid conditions rather than direct COVID-19 concerns, indicating that online symptom data might lead to overestimations of actual infections.
