Three months ago during the most active phase of the quarantine, my colleague Alex and I were sitting on the sofas on acceptable social distance in different cities. We were wondering if there is a simple way to understand which places are ‘safe’ and which are too crowded to go due to pandemic. What are the hours to meet fewer people on the way, which route to take?

This even resulted in a prototype of a service that collects the data like popular times from Google (not available for developers) and shows the heatmap of crowded and not too crowded places.
