How many tweets about Covid-19 and Coronavirus? 628M tweets so far.

One of the saddest things we have ever had to do is to analyze the evolution of the new Coronavirus Covid 19 on Twitter. We at Tweet Binder have run several Twitter analysis about it and we intend to liberate all the Twitter datasets about Coronavirus and Covid19 that we possible can create. We have analyzed day by day the evolution of several words: #covid19 OR #coronavirus OR coronavirus OR #covidー19. However, we don’t want to share any opinion on the data, that’s your job.

628,809,016 tweets so far (Updated May 8th 2020)

We will update the data every week and we will provide as much information as we can. If you are a journalist you can use this freely by mentioning Tweet Binder as a source. If you need the raw data (the tweets), please contact us because that cannot be offered for free. Coronavirus on Twitter is also full of fake news, please stay sharp.
