Google Symptoms Search Trends

Google's [COVID-19 Search Trends symptoms dataset](http://goo.gle/covid19symptomdataset) reflects the relative volume of Google searches for a broad set of symptoms, signs and health conditions. This source includes signals for 7 symptom sets: 6 sets of COVID-related symptoms, and 1 set of control symptoms unrelated to COVID-19. Because of the way this dataset is constructed, values are comparable across signals in the same location, but not across geographic regions, even within the same signal. Use caution in any geographic analyses.

NCHS Mortality Data

This data source of national provisional death counts is based on death certificate data received and coded by the National Center for Health Statistics ([NCHS](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/index.htm)). This data is different from the death data available from USAFacts and JHU CSSE: deaths are reported by the date they occur, not the date they are reported by local health departments, and data is frequently reissued as additional death certificates from recent weeks are received and tabulated.
