DEEP DIVE

#LifeAtHome TikTok videos are a pocket of wholesome online content amidst the spread of Coronavirus-related panic, misinformation, anxiety, and insults on social media.

As Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread, workplaces are moving to work from home systems, teachers are hosting virtual classes, entire cities and countries are on lockdown, thousands of people are being quarantined, and people are being encouraged to stay at home rather than going out. All this has led to the proliferation of the hashtag #LifeAtHome on TikTok where people share what it’s like to work from home, attend classes via video chat, and have limited contact with other humans.
