全球变暖与流感疫情：温度上升对流感爆发影响之探讨

Summary: A recent study conducted by the University of Michigan suggests that rising temperatures are unlikely to worsen flu outbreaks. The study examined the relationship between temperature and influenza cases in the US over a period of 20 years, from 1997 to 2017. The researchers found that while flu cases did increase with lower temperatures, there was no evidence of a significant increase in cases when temperatures rose. This suggests that rising temperatures are not likely to cause an increase in flu outbreaks. Comment: This research is important as it provides insight into how climate change may affect the spread of infectious diseases such as influenza. The findings suggest that rising temperatures are not likely to cause an increase in flu outbreaks, which could be good news for public health efforts to reduce the spread of this disease. However, further research is needed to understand how other factors such as humidity and air quality may affect the transmission of influenza and other illnesses.
