Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Several limitations in our study should be noted. First, the Google/Baidu data is limited to smartphone users who have opted into relevant product features. These data may not be representative of the population as a whole, and their representativeness may vary by location. Importantly, these limited data are subject to differential privacy algorithms, designed to protect user anonymity and obscure fine detail. Moreover, comparisons across rather than within locations can only be descriptive since regions differ in substantial ways. Second, the accuracy of our model relies on accurate estimates of Re and other epidemiological parameters derived from reported case data. The quality of reported data and epidemiologic features of COVID-19 likely differs across countries/regions (33–35), due to varying case definitions, diagnosis and surveillance capacity, population demographics, and other factors (36). Third, we assumed the observed travel and contact reductions have similar effects in minimizing exposure risk of COVID-19 across space and time. The impact of physical distancing might, however, vary between urban and suburban or rural areas with different population densities. Fourth, many other factors may also contribute to COVID-19 spread or mitigation. For example, our simulations did not specify the contributions of pre-symptomatic transmission, presence of other NPIs such as using face masks (37), or the potential continuous importations of the virus via international trav...
