COVID-19 may be the biggest Google trend in history.
Coronavirus has become a hot search topic as fear and anxiety brought on by the rapid spread of the virus have changed the public's psychology and habits. People’s concerns about the virus have been reflected in their Google search history.
People appeared to search for information about the nature of the virus and how they might be affected. The top questions about coronavirus were related to whether places were open and events were still happening.
Data reporter Christopher Ingraham from The Washington Post said that coronavirus may be the biggest Google trend in history.
According to the data, people around the world showed widespread interest in the health and actions of world leaders. However, top coronavirus-related searches focus on trivialities, like an interest in celebrities and high-profile people who’ve been diagnosed with the virus.
