Greetings all.

“Many of us wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night, checking Twitter, Instagram, or Weibo as the first or last thing we do. Social media is how many stay connected and plug into what is happening. So, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, how did these platforms flip from a supply of friend requests and likes to be vital channels of up-to-date health information?”
