Ask HN: Current Pandemic and Data Hoarders Like Google and Facebook

I am wondering if there are stories about collaboration between big data companies such as Google, Facebook etc. and government agencies in actionable response to current pandemic. Majority of info, like mobility report, internet temperature readings are just pretty information dashboards, charts, reports. They more come across as marketing than something being actively being used by government (federal to municipal level) in for example, resource allocation/reallocation, etc. Just trying to see how much of “big data” was hype and how much of it is being used practically, actively, and providing actionable steps.
