Fig. 2. Comparison between online search scores with minimised news media effects (black line) and confirmed cases (dashed red line), as well as confirmed cases shifted back (red line) such that their correlation with the online search scores is maximised.

The confirmed cases time series are shifted back by a different number of days for each country: 20 days (US), 24 days (UK), 6 days (Australia), 31 days (Canada), 10 days (France), 14 days (Italy), 12 days (Greece), and 53 days (South Africa). All time series are smoothed using a 7-point moving average, centred around each day.
