 We query the Google Health Trends API for overall searcher interest in a set of
-COVID-19 related terms which encompass the following topics: coronavirus
-symptoms; coronavirus help; coronavirus test-seeking; anosmia (lack of smell or
-taste). The API provides data at the Nielsen Designated Marketing Area (DMA)
-level and at the State level. This information reported by the API is unitless
-and pre-normalized for population size; i.e., the time series obtained for New
-York and Wyoming states are directly comparable. The public has access to a
-limited view of such information through [Google
-Trends](https://trends.google.com).
