随着新型冠狀病毒COVID-19的不斷傳播，為了更好地預測病毒在新地區的爆發，能夠追蹤病毒随着時間發展的模式變得十分重要。官方公布的感染案例數可能是研究病毒發展最準确的方法，但是它們不一定能夠展示整個發展模式。我們已經研發了一款能夠在電腦和移動裝置上使用的應用NewsStand，讓使用者能夠探索病毒基于地理位置的傳播模式，并通過對趨地性新聞文章中出現的關鍵詞頻繁度的分析來讨論病毒的發展。
原文題目：Viewing the Progression of the Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19) with NewsStand
原文：With the continuing spread of COVID-19, it is clearly important to be able to track the progress of the virus over time to be better prepared to anticipate its emergence in new regions. Officially released numbers of cases will likely be the most accurate means by which to track this, but they will not necessarily paint a complete picture. We have developed an application 1 usable on desktop and mobile devices that allows users to explore geographic spread in discussion about the virus through analysis of keyword prevalence in geotaged news articles .
