Leveraging Real-Time Population-Scale GPS Data to Forecast and Identify Components of Epidemic Dynamics by Dr Alejandra Hidalgo, Dr Steven Schulz, Dr Ashish Thampi, Richard Pastor

“…Results: The GPS data from around 1% of the German population since 2019, with 70000000 samples per day, yield accurate insights into contact patterns. We quantified the delay between real-time contact and the R_t at 15 ± 1 days, therefore we forecast R_t ∼2 weeks into the future, with the prognosis demonstrating a stronger correlation between the contact-driven component during 2020. …”
