Twitter-Conversations-about-SARS-Cov-2_April-2020
We study Twitter conversations among Illinoisans about Coronavirus through the systematic analysis of tweets collected during March 21, 2020 through April 5, 2020, the first two weeks of stay-at-home order issued by Governor J. B. Pritzker. The subjective information in the tweet is processed to identify the strength of the positive and negative tone of the tweet. Results reveal that rural residents are more relaxed about the Coronavirus pandemic than their urban counterparts.
