Paper Abstract:
|
As more than a third of the world's population is now in lock-down, we see COVID-19 not only having severe implications
on people's health but also having a significant knock-on effect on their livelihoods. A recent YouGov report highlights
that one in twenty people in the UK lost their job due to coronavirus and that 52% of those studied expect the British
economy to be in recession within a year (Sparkes, 2020). In this paper we aim to investigate the online social response to
the working from home WFH concept, by analysis the twitter activity around the coronavirus and WFH, initial findings
suggest, 70.6% positive tweets before the lock-down, on the other hand, 78.6% positive tweets after the lock-down around
the WFH. |
