Are you looking for a reliable & fast online bad news source? Per its profile, @livecrisisnews might be what you're after, as long as what you're after is a Twitter account that tweets about #coronavirus continually (often without linking actual news sources.)

@livecrisisnews @ZellaQuixote The #coronovirus has a somewhat unique trait among the crises that @livecrisisnews reports on: it actually exists, unlike the April 2019 massive radiation cloud over Salt Lake City, UT and the February 2019 Bridgewater, NJ tornado.
@livecrisisnews @ZellaQuixote Other past emergencies @livecrisisnews tweeted about despite them not having happened: an EF5 tornado that hit New York City in April 2019 and a February 2019 eruption of Mount St. Helens. (The volcano was last active in 2008 per Wikipedia.)

@livecrisisnews @ZellaQuixote Sometimes @livecrisisnews posts false information about real events: in August 2019 it spread the false claim that the El Paso mass shooting was carried out by multiple shooters. Also, the "coup in Turkey" was hardly #BREAKING in 2019, as it in fact took place in 2016.
@livecrisisnews @ZellaQuixote Islamophobic tweets are another ongoing specialty of @livecrisisnews. (There's also some random shitposting, and even occasional videos of events in Venezuela from the correct year, but those are somewhat rare.)
@livecrisisnews @ZellaQuixote Overall, @livecrisisnews kept its tweet volume fairly low (and varied its topics) until 2020, when it briefly got excited about the Soleimani assassination and Iran's retaliatory strike before going all in on #coronavirus, even setting up a dedicated YouTube channel.
@livecrisisnews @ZellaQuixote On that note, the decision to tweet about #coronavirus constantly has certainly paid off for @livecrisisnews in terms of reach. At the time of its first coronavirus tweet, it had only 88 followers, which has grown to over 16000 in a little over a month.
@livecrisisnews @ZellaQuixote Update: gonna go out on a limb and guess that the operator of @livecrisisnews found this thread.
@livecrisisnews @ZellaQuixote Update: the @livecrisisnews account has been suspended. (We would not be surprised to discover that other dubious coronavirus-focused "news" accounts are floating around, however.)
