Abstract

With the rise in patients affected by the coronavirus, the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. Globally, people are forced to stay at home to maintain social distancing. People are sharing their feelings through social media platform like Twitter. Twitter data helps to understand grief and pain due to coronavirus.
