講題(Title)：COVID-19防疫政策: 實證研究心得分享
COVID-19 Pandemic Policies: Insights from Empirical Research

摘要：COVID-19大流行對全球社會、經濟及健康造成了前所未有的衝擊。截至2023年12月31日，全球累計確診人數達到7億7千4百萬，死亡病例超過700萬人。在這背景下，我們的研究團隊進行了一系列的實證研究，旨在深入理解COVID-19疫情與防疫政策的影響。
研究主要分為兩大部分：跨國分析與本土研究。在五篇跨國分析中，我們首先探討COVID-19致死率的相關因素，隨後研究了疫苗接種率與致死率之相關性。考慮到病例數激增對醫療體系的壓力，我們也分析了哪些防疫措施最能有效降低病毒傳播。此外，我們探討了支持與反對疫苗之言論如何在社群媒體上傳播，以及在後疫情時代，疫苗接種如何導致人流增加進而削弱疫苗保護力。
針對本土研究，我們專注於台灣，進行了超額死亡率的估計，並分析了視訊診療之利用，以及疫情對特定高風險群體—肝癌患者的影響。我們期望透過這些實證研究的成果，為政府在面對未來可能爆發的疫情時，制定醫療與公共衛生政策提供參考。

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global health, economy, and society. By December 31, 2023, the world saw 774 million cases and over 7 million deaths. Our research aimed to understand the impact of COVID-19 and related policies.
Our research is divided into two main parts: cross-national analysis and domestic research. In the five cross-national studies, we first explored the factors associated with the COVID-19 fatality rate, followed by an investigation into the relationship between vaccination and fatality rates. Considering the pressure on healthcare systems due to a surge in cases, we also analyzed which pandemic policies were most effective in reducing virus transmission. Additionally, we studied pro- and anti-vaccine message spread on Twitter and the effect of increased mobility, induced by vaccination, on virus transmission.
For our domestic research, we focused on Taiwan, estimating excess mortality rates, analyzing telemedicine use, and assessing the impact of the pandemic on specific high-risk groups, such as patients with liver cancer. Through the outcomes of these empirical studies, we hope to provide references for governments in formulating medical and public health policies in response to future outbreaks.
