Or you could put a hundred or two cell phones in a wheelbarrow

I've seen a bunch of articles based on "data" put out by Unacast regarding geographies that are better or worse at social distancing.
They're using travel distance to determine who's good and who's bad.
Is their data worth a shit? You could put 10k phones into 10k cars and drive them in circles all day and your reported metric would be through the roof, yet there was nearly zero additional risk because people were separated.
How are they collecting this data? On whose behalf? With what permission?
The only useful data would perhaps be in detecting the change in number of visible Bluetooth devices from January to now.
