Powerful engineering tools should help in the fight against nCoV-2109, but we must start by acknowledging some limitations.
The rest of this series will look at how digital technology applies to the the outbreak of a novel Coronavirus (nCoV-2019) in China. How is engineering being deployed to help medical professionals combat its spread there and in the rest of the world?
But as coverage and understandable public interest – and concern - about the outbreak has intensified, it seems wise first to look at how the event is (31) ______ some of technology’s limitations both in and of itself and how we interpret what it can do for us.
Three themes emerge.
Technology is not immediate. There is a(n) (32) ______ to believe that the recent rapid advances in processing power, algorithmic development, machine learning and artificial intelligence can now (33) ______ almost instant answers to everything. The digital landscape has changed massively since the SARS outbreak in 2003. But while we may be able to do things more (34) ______, some things still take time and that is particularly true of a virus. There is no ‘one size fits all’ here and, indeed, there are real dangers in believing that one analytical strategy and its particular use can be applied universally.
Second, as viruses spread and (35) ______, so do the data sets around them. We are not dealing with a situation of simple ‘garbage in, garbage out’ but rather one where new information is emerging daily (and there is the further (36) ______ that there were delays in early reporting of the outbreak). That means that the results even the wisest medical experts can produce are also going to change. Also, as you might (37) ______, their methodologies vary.
Third, a lot of data is being placed into the digital sphere, across social media, specialist sites and elsewhere. Here, the (38) ______ with 17 years ago is especially profound. But the (39) ______ behind various postings are many. Anyone might be able to access the data via a web browser – and its free availability is laudable – but its intended audiences can be very different. In some cases, experts are looking to inform the public but in others they are looking to contribute to and (40) ______ the debate taking place among themselves. These goals are laudable and necessary, but they do not always coexist harmoniously.（383）
