Interesting, looking back further it seems searches for these symptoms are associated with flu seasonality.

I came to that conclusion. I'm trying different searches that might be more unique to covid-19, like labored breathing. I'm trying to think of other proxies, maybe things like "coronavirus home remedy", etc.

Yeah, it is strongly associated with the flu seasonality. It makes sense considering what sick often people do, their first reaction is to type their symptoms into Google.
