Abstract:
By automatically gathering tweets of Twitter from people who reside in UK and processing them with the help of Lithops [1], e.g., through a parallel sentiment analysis, one can infer how population “sees” the evolution of the COVID19 pandemic. Optionally, this view can be complemented with the “official version” from the UK government, e.g., via web scraping, and after performing a sentiment analysis, determine the view of the UK government. Finally, we can cross compare both version and measure the differences.
