PingER was originally set up for monitoring connections between High Energy Physics (HEP) sites that were mainly in the US, Europe and Japan.

See, for example, the analysis for Spain and Italy, two countries that were badly impacted by Covid-19. Also see the UK.

Possible Future work

Compare weekday usage with allweek usage to see if it makes a notable difference in identifying correlations between PingER and Covid-19. DONE
