Vox deletes January tweet about coronavirus that really has not aged well

Abstract

Vox Media deleted a tweet from January that stated the coronavirus would not be a deadly pandemic. The tweet, which included a series of questions and answers about the virus, now appears outdated and inaccurate, especially considering the current reality of the coronavirus story. Vox’s decision to delete the tweet comes after MSNBC also retracted a tweet that misquoted Chris Hayes, stating he said the coronavirus pandemic had the potential to kill half of the population. Both companies have issued corrections and removed the erroneous tweets, highlighting the importance of accurate information during a global pandemic.
