Coronavirus Twitter facts

Q: What Twitter accounts should I follow for news about the coronavirus? I am seeing conspiracy theories and fake news that I’d like to avoid.

A: I’m glad you asked this question because there are more conspiracy theories and fake news stories floating around Twitter than anyone could count or catalog, and false information could be extremely dangerous — or even fatal. Most of us know memes can’t be trusted, but how do you wade through the real-sounding headlines from equally real-sounding sources?

The most dependable Twitter accounts to follow, beyond even many media outlets like Fox News and government agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
