How could Taiwan not defend by COVID-19 this year? Why Taiwan could just be the country which used to be predicted for serious death numbers but finally reverse the situation? This problem may cause some questions for a foreign countries. It could be traced back to Feb, 5th after the large scale confirm numbers in Diamond Princess, then 2700 of the passengers went through immigration into Taiwan. Everyone just concerned about cluster spreading, so the government did a quick reaction for follow-up study. They used big data tools to do the following research, and printed out every passengers’ electric map, at the same time, sent them individually messages and told them to be careful if they have a fever or sore throat symptoms. It would be hard if we used traditional tracing method to take the specific group as the sample, kind of this investigation would be wasteless. However, the Taiwanese knew how to use big data analytics, intelligent follow technologies, and cell broadcast sign, finally collaborated with health research registration files, it is more clever and effective ways to defeat COVID-19.
        Taiwanese just came through the SARS pandemic in 2003, and completely understanding how serious with such of the virus. COVID-19 could be the most challenging problem for every country, what if people still live for themselves and care for their own business, it must be counterattacked by nature one day. I want to say that I’m really appreciated by the government and health care workers all over the world. You all need to be respected for your selfless dedication. I hope everyone and everything recovery soon.

The significant increase in data collection and processing capabilities has greatly improved the ability of weather forecasters to pinpoint the time and severity of hurricanes, floods, snowstorms and other weather events. Globally, more and more evidence of climate change is prompting governments and scientists to take action to protect people and property from its effects. But to take effective measures, they need to know more about the weather-from everything that will happen tomorrow to what will happen next year.
