Abstract

Corona outbreak has brought a disaster in Indonesia, both to physical and mental health. Within six months, 1,155 people have been infected by the deadly virus. Less than a month after the first Indonesians identified positive Covid-19 on March 2020, 9 million tweets on corona virus emerged in Twitter. The overflowing information in social media holds accountable for panic attack among the Indonesian society. This study aimed to identify the process of Indonesian society in dealing with corona through Twitter using social network analysis; not only on the panic, but also on social reconciliation in dealing with corona. Epidemic psychology model by Philip Strong was implemented to systematically and profoundly constructs the arguments. The findings imply the mass panic among the Indonesian society during the early emergence of the pandemic in March 2020 (epidemic of fear). Thereon, the society expressed their awareness and thus jointly campaigned to obey the health protocol suggested by the government, called epidemic of moralization. Ultimately, the society began to demonstrate epidemic of action when many accounts were created to engage with social solidarity to promote real action in supporting those impacted by Covid-19.
