We then visualized "retweet cascades", which describes how a social media network propagates information [23] , through the use of graph models to understand how dense networks become over time and which users dominate the Covid19 conversations. The paper begins with Data Collection, followed by the five stages of our analysis: Keyword Trend Analysis, Topic Modeling, UMAP, Time-to-Retweet Analysis, and Network Analysis. Chinese social media may not represent similar behaviors with American Twitter and this analysis does not take into account multiple factors that imply retweeting behavior to include the context, the user's position, and the time the tweet was posted [44] . ./cache/cord-123103-pnjt9aa4.txt ./txt/cord-123103-pnjt9aa4.txt
