Abstract: The datasets that we used in this work come from the COVID-19 Infodemics Observatory (https://covid19obs.fbk.eu/#/ (opens in new window)). Tweets associated with the COVID-19 pandemics (coronavirus, ncov, #Wuhan, covid19, COVID-19, SARSCoV2, COVID) have been automatically collected using the Twitter Filter API. It contains 7.7 million retweets in the case of USA, 300 thousand in the case of Italy and 900 thousand in the case of the UK. The time of the collection goes from the 22nd of January to the 22nd of May for the USA, while for Italy and the UK it goes from the 22nd of January to the 2nd of December. For each tweet we specified the ID code as well as the time at which it was created. In this dataset one can also find the tables necessary to reproduce exactly the figures in the paper.
