(a) to ensure that the disease has been properly identified, since control measures are often disease-specific;
(b) to rule out laboratory error as the basis for the increase in reported cases.
According to the information on the letter, observed symptoms are largely flu-like and include fever, chills, sweats, aches and pains, fatigue, coughing, breathing difficulty, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and enlarged lymph nodes. More recently, there have been several deaths believed to be associated with the current outbreak.
In this section, I will validate this information using the microblog message collected.
On May20, large crowd of people were observed at hospitals in different zones. To investigate what these people were talking about, I selected all messages posted near hospitals and label the senders according to their IDs. These IDs are identified as potential patients.
Then the message content is studied using text explorer.
