最近出現的新型冠狀病毒COVID-19，在大眾媒體和全球新聞中得到了廣泛的報道。截至2020年3月24日，該病毒已在中國武漢造成數萬人病毒性肺炎，並在其他184個國家和地區造成數千人感染。這項研究探索了Google趨勢(GT)的潛在用途，以監測這個COVID-19流行病的全球發展狀況。考慮到人們對這個話題的興趣，GT被選為逆向工程數據的來源。利用冠狀病毒這一主要搜索主題，從(GT)中檢索了目前有關 covid-19的數據，地理位置設置在世界各地、中國、韓國、義大利和伊朗。 報告期為2020年1月15日至2020年3月24日。 結果顯示，在第一波資訊需求中，全球最高峰出現在2020年1月31日。 在第一個高峰期之後，新增病例報告數連續6天上升。 2020年2月21日，在義大利爆發疫情後，第二波疫情開始蔓延，最高峰在2020年3月16日。 第二波是第一波的六倍。 每天報告的新病例數量在逐日上升。本文簡要介紹了通過GT人們對冠狀病毒疫情的資訊需求情況。
原文題目：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.
