#3The usefulness instantly clicked when I saw this - awesome work, and I wish it were government promoted.
I'm no good at writing copy, but I'd work on the homepage's phrasing. Link to https://healthweather.us/ as well as the NYT article on them, rather than making a reference to Maddow elsewhere (it'd be dumb for someone to be turned away by that, but someone will be.) Explain that CDC data lags three weeks behind historically, and point out all the counties without data. Say all this on the front page, and run A/B tests once you have enough visitors.
Again, great work!

#4I really want to call upon any engineers/managers at Apple/Google/Garmin/Fitbit: please start working on body temperature monitoring. It doesn't have to be a realtime readout like a heart monitor, but something that could work overnight to find an average. This could stop entire pandemics.

#5I had an idea, that one way to eliminate this COVID-19 coronavirus, as well as the H1N1 influenza virus from civilization, is to shut down all human movement for 30 to 60 days.
You have to go 2 or 3 weeks, without any new reported infections to be sure.
This would require that all the countries and governments of the world, act in unison, to ensure that all 7 billion people are tracked, and monitored.
But the reality is, good luck, as this will never happen. The economic cost is too high, but the alternative, is that the COVID-19 virus will hunt down the human race.

#7I'm curious about something: Is fever is a symptom that would appear without someone noticing it? Wouldn't other symptoms like chills/coughing manifest first?

Kinsa is doing a lot of this already. Check https://healthweather.us/ for their published maps.

I have one of their thermometers! It's cool. I just wish it was automatic
