Spring Break ‘Heat Map’ and ‘Spider Query’ Shows Cell Phone Travel from Ft. Lauderdale Beach to Back Home

The must-watch video below, of a month’s worth of travel from the beaches of Ft. Lauderdale, FL to back home,  is an eye-opening example of how Americans not heeding the 15 days to Stop the Spread can sow the seeds of the Wuhan Virus wide-screen, throughout the midwest, the northeast and the Atlantic seaboard south to Florida and west to the Mississippi River.

Truly stunning data.

This shows the location data of phones that were on a Florida beach during Spring Break. It then shows where those phones traveled.

First thing you should note is the importance of social distancing. The second is how much data your phone gives off. pic.twitter.com/iokUX3qjeB
