论文摘要
SARS-COV-2小说冠状病毒（Covid-19）的爆发伴随着大量有关该病毒的误导性和虚假信息，尤其是在社交媒体上。在大流行期间，社交媒体成为一种重要的交流媒介，引起了特别的兴趣。这使得这些信息在这些平台上尤为关键。在我们的工作中，我们的目标是探索在Twitter上传播的假新闻的百分比，并同时衡量公众的情绪。我们进一步研究了公众中恐惧的情绪如何存在。除此之外，我们还将病毒每天传播的速度与在Twitter上的假新闻传播率进行比较。我们的研究对于在危机中，更具体地说，在危机管理中，在建立Twitter和社交媒体的作用方面非常有用。
The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has been accompanied by a large amount of misleading and false information about the virus, especially on social media. During the pandemic social media gained special interest as it went on to become an important medium of communication. This made the information being relayed on these platforms especially critical. In our work, we aim to explore the percentage of fake news being spread on Twitter as well as measure the sentiment of the public at the same time. We further study how the sentiment of fear is present among the public. In addition to that we compare the rate of spread of the virus per day with the rate of spread of fake news on Twitter. Our study is useful in establishing the role of Twitter, and social media, during a crisis, and more specifically during crisis management.
