The social media platform has become an outlet for grief as well as information for people impacted by the pandemic
There are announcements in the afternoon and by evening, the pink bubble on the Twitter app starts blinking. And it feels like an intimate interactive talk show as the speakers begin sharing their thoughts, concerns and plans. Sometimes choreographed, most of the times instantaneous. In the midst of the raging COVID-19 pandemic, Twitter Spaces has become the hub of activity. While Twitter appears like a war room with messages zipping about various medical needs and resources, Spaces has become a place to plan, strategise and calm nerves.
