On their site they have a map of counties and risk level. Some counties I know of that currently have few cases are labeled as very high risk. They had cases in the past but the numbers have fallen. This makes me question the usefulness of the presentation.

This is probably the worst analogy for what a company does that I have ever seen.

Why? As obnoxious as it is, it was immediately clear to me that this system relies on crowd-sourced self-reported health data to help others assess risk. As far as analogies go, it served its purpose.
