In summary, key findings in our research include that while news channels post about COVID-19 more frequently (Median = 7.6%), average Twitter users and most popular users don't post very much (Median ≤ 1.5%). And while COVID-posting frequencies for `eng-news` and `500-pop` fluctuates with the number of new cases in the U.S., average Twitter users' COVID-posting frequency dropped and continued to decrease since Jun 2020. And these posts were not as popular (not liked or commented as much) as users' other posts (Median ≤ 0.87).
These findings might not be surprising, but they might have again demonstrated people's ability to adapt to new environments. The attentional effect of the start of COVID-19 might be similar to the satisfaction from buying a new thing or the grief from losing something, they all fade over time as we adapt to them. Even though people focused a lot of attention on COVID-19 when new information first became available from March 2020, people's interest in these topics decreased as we adapt to the new norm with COVID-19 in three months, demonstrated by the quickly decreasing posting rates. Or, for the audience, rather than liking or commenting on COVID-19 posts, they might have quickly scrolled through them in favor of more interesting posts. It is fascinating that we can learn to adapt to such a devastating change in our environment in only three months.
