A lot of people just pretend to be getting isolated. For example, this user clarified in the comments (after 3 million views) that she got tested for coronavirus but got a negative result the next day https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/coronavirus/2020/03/tiktok-coronavirus-just-another-way-gain-clout …pic.twitter.com/PWej3T9v6p
Most viral TikToks about coronavirus are of people pretending to be in close proximity to those infected. This one cleverly used audio of an alarm from a *different TikTok* and put it over a clip of someone being evacuated from his plane (2.4M views) https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/coronavirus/2020/03/tiktok-coronavirus-just-another-way-gain-clout …pic.twitter.com/iwooTKbmsg
Meta content: this TikTok with over 2 million views of someone explaining how she tricked her Instagram followers into thinking she had coronavirus https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/coronavirus/2020/03/tiktok-coronavirus-just-another-way-gain-clout …pic.twitter.com/q88GGzaPOS
The *one video* which may actually be legit is this one from Sunday, which currently has over 7 million views. All of the comments she’s liked are supportive replies, which is unusual for the fake claims that have been posted https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/coronavirus/2020/03/tiktok-coronavirus-just-another-way-gain-clout …pic.twitter.com/zQkmoTFUFh
Yeah lol it’s fake, here’s the update https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/coronavirus/2020/03/tiktok-coronavirus-just-another-way-gain-clout …pic.twitter.com/9wSlrKcTTy
