For reference, there have been 3,000 deaths out of 11,000,000 people in Wuhan. That's 0.03% of the population dead and the number of new deaths per day is declining. If the rest of the world comes even close to being as good at quarant

Facebook usage is > 80% mobile, and they often don't bother adding features to the website. Do you have reason to believe that Twitter is different?
