- 笔记
最近出现的新型冠状病毒COVID-19，在大众媒体和全球新闻中得到了广泛的报道。截至2020年3月24日，该病毒已在中国武汉造成数万人病毒性肺炎，并在其他184个国家和地区造成数千人感染。这项研究探索了谷歌趋势(GT)的潜在用途，以监测这个COVID-19流行病的全球发展状况。考虑到人们对这个话题的兴趣，GT被选为逆向工程数据的来源。利用冠状病毒这一主要搜索主题，从(GT)中检索了目前有关 covid-19的数据，地理位置设置在世界各地、中国、韩国、意大利和伊朗。 报告期为2020年1月15日至2020年3月24日。 结果显示，在第一波信息需求中，全球最高峰出现在2020年1月31日。 在第一个高峰期之后，新增病例报告数连续6天上升。 2020年2月21日，在意大利爆发疫情后，第二波疫情开始蔓延，最高峰在2020年3月16日。 第二波是第一波的六倍。 每天报告的新病例数量在逐日上升。本文简要介绍了通过GT人们对冠状病毒疫情的信息需求情况。
原文题目：The Second Worldwide Wave of Interest in Coronavirus since the COVID-19 Outbreaks in South Korea, Italy and Iran: A Google Trends Study
原文：The recent emergence of a new coronavirus, COVID-19, has gained extensive coverage in public media and global news. As of 24 March 2020, the virus has caused viral pneumonia in tens of thousands of people in Wuhan, China, and thousands of cases in 184 other countries and territories. This study explores the potential use of Google Trends (GT) to monitor worldwide interest in this COVID-19 epidemic. GT was chosen as a source of reverse engineering data, given the interest in the topic. Current data on COVID-19 is retrieved from (GT) using one main search topic: Coronavirus. Geographical settings for GT are worldwide, China, South Korea, Italy and Iran. The reported period is 15 January 2020 to 24 March 2020. The results show that the highest worldwide peak in the first wave of demand for information was on 31 January 2020. After the first peak, the number of new cases reported daily rose for 6 days. A second wave started on 21 February 2020 after the outbreaks were reported in Italy, with the highest peak on 16 March 2020. The second wave is six times as big as the first wave. The number of new cases reported daily is rising day by day. This short communication gives a brief introduction to how the demand for information on coronavirus epidemic is reported through GT.
