随着新型冠状病毒COVID-19的不断传播，为了更好地预测病毒在新地区的爆发，能够追踪病毒随着时间发展的模式变得十分重要。官方公布的感染案例数可能是研究病毒发展最准确的方法，但是它们不一定能够展示整个发展模式。我们已经研发了一款能够在电脑和移动设备上使用的应用NewsStand，让使用者能够探索病毒基于地理位置的传播模式，并通过对趋地性新闻文章中出现的关键词频繁度的分析来讨论病毒的发展。
原文题目：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 .
