论文摘要
自2019年12月以来，Covid-19在世界各地迅速蔓延。毫不奇怪，关于Covid-19的谈话也在增加。本文首先研究了社交媒体上的对话数量，尤其是Twitter，关于Covid-19，讨论的主题，讨论的主题，从那里出现的讨论，关于病毒的神话，以及其中的数量与通过共享URL链接在Internet上的其他高质量信息有关。我们的初步发现表明，信息流和新的Covid-19案例之间存在有意义的时空关系，尽管存在有关神话和与质量差的信息差的讨论，但它们的存在与其他危机特定主题相比，其存在较少。这项研究是了解有关Covid-19的社交媒体对话的第一步。
Since December 2019, COVID-19 has been spreading rapidly across the world. Not surprisingly, conversation about COVID-19 is also increasing. This article is a first look at the amount of conversation taking place on social media, specifically Twitter, with respect to COVID-19, the themes of discussion, where the discussion is emerging from, myths shared about the virus, and how much of it is connected to other high and low quality information on the Internet through shared URL links. Our preliminary findings suggest that a meaningful spatio-temporal relationship exists between information flow and new cases of COVID-19, and while discussions about myths and links to poor quality information exist, their presence is less dominant than other crisis specific themes. This research is a first step toward understanding social media conversation about COVID-19.
