Looking back, I might have gone through the Corona Virus over the holidays; see my account on TUG, posted 1/8. Highlights:
So this morning I wonder, does my Watch know I was sick?
If so, could the mass data gathered by Apple show us rate of infection? geographical spread? point of origin? how well the individual is handling it? recovery time? etc?
To the first question, YES, I believe my Watch has sufficient data to calculate: Rhonda was sick.
Thoughts?
- Sick like I'd never felt before! terrible weakness, fever, fluid in both lungs, cough, gray skin color, etc.
- Hit soon after returning from a cruise. (Cruise terminated on 12/16; I fell sick on 12/24.)
- Cruise had a good number of Chinese on board; Countries visited: Italy, Greece, Jordan, Oman, UAE.
- Long flights home, Dubai to California.

- Activity Monitoring. I closed my rings everyday .... but my stats were well below average. Move calories were just barely over my daily goal; my steps fell from 7 miles/day to 2.3 miles/day.
- Standing Hours. During the illness window, the standing hours history differs from my general pattern of 14+ contiguous bars between 5a-dark. While sick, I struggled to meet 12 per day (the required minimum to close the ring) and there are gaps between the bars showing uncommon motion in the late night hours and no motion after 5P (early to bed!).
- Geographically, I never left my property for 21-days. That is an odd break in normal behavior!
- Apple has sufficient data to know where and when I'd travelled. I recall responding to email while riding a bumpy bus in Oman over wireless data (thank you, T-Mo!). The only port where I left my phone on the ship was Aqaba, Jordan.
- Heart rate? The Watch has a ton of personal data. Historically, my heart rate recovery times, resting rate, and more tell a rather clear picture of my general, daily health!
