The above graph provides a visual of the amount of cases (and deaths to a lesser extent) and the searches of the 5 symptoms. This is combined with a linear forecast line for some of the symptoms. When these lines intersect it seems it is close to the peak of cases.

Overall the visual shows how, searches for symptoms have a strong correlation with the case outbreaks.
