Abstract

This is a report on analysis with regard to how the residents and devolved governments in the UK are responding to the global pandemic of COVID-19. The last pandemic to be experienced in the UK was the ‘Asian Flu' outbreak of 1957. At that time, a sense of unity was persistent in tackling the pandemic amongst people in the UK. In contrast, for COVID-19 there has been repeated conflicts between devolved governments, and they vividly resonate in the behaviours of residents in different regions as well. The aim of this report is to discuss the current situation of the British society in dealing with the issue of pandemic and to present some data collected from social media to support the evidence of claim of this report, which are relevant to the discussion. This work may suggest that the effects of social media are coming with as much speed of spread as COVID-19.
