News

The reams of data being collected on human activity every minute of every day — from websites and sensors, from hospitals and government agencies — beg to be analyzed and explained. Was the rise in coronavirus infection rates visible in one data set caused by the falling temperatures in another data set, or a result of the mobility patterns apparent in a separate data collection, or was it some other less visible change in social patterns, or perhaps even just random chance, or actually some combination of all these factors?
