Abstract

This paper explores the predictability of COVID-19 in the United States using Google Trends data. Pearson and Kendall rank correlations were used to analyze the relationship between Google Trends data and COVID-19 cases and deaths. A bias-corrected quantile regression model was employed for predictability analysis. Results show statistically significant correlations and strong predictability of COVID-19 using Google Trends data, suggesting its value in informing public health policy.
