From their offices in a high-rise building in Queens, epidemiologist Sharon Greene and her colleagues watched the COVID-19 pandemic sweep through New York City in April 2020.
2020年4月，流行病学家莎伦·格林和她的同事在皇后区一栋高层建筑的办公室里，观看了新冠肺炎·疫情席卷纽约市的过程。
Using an open-source data-analytics program called SaTScan, her team mapped outbreaks as they unfolded across individual neighbourhoods, almost in real time.
利用一个名为SaTScan的开源数据分析程序，她的团队几乎实时绘制了疫情在各个街区的分布图。
This sophisticated approach relied on detailed data from hospitals and laboratories, and showed that the virus wasn’t affecting all New Yorkers equally.
这种复杂的方法依赖于来自医院和实验室的详细数据，表明这种病毒对所有纽约人的影响并不平等。
That knowledge helped Greene’s team at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to distribute testing resources and protective gear such as masks and gloves to the right places.
这些知识帮助格林在纽约市健康和心理卫生部门的团队将检测资源和防护装备(如口罩和手套)分配到正确的地方。

It was a different approach from New York City’s typical pandemic response plan, which advised largely blanket policies such as lockdowns and mass testing.
这与纽约市典型的流行病应对计划不同，后者建议采取封锁和大规模检测等大体覆盖的政策。
“Instead of just parking a testing van somewhere in an affected zip code, we can park it at an intersection in the middle of the cluster,” Greene says.
格林说:“我们可以把检测车停在集群中间的一个十字路口，而不是停在受影响的按邮政编码分区的某个地方。”
“It’s hyper-local public health.” By the middle of the year, cases in the city began to drop.
“这是超地方性的公共卫生。”到年中，该市的病例开始下降。
