In the last couple of hours the twitter feed for the hashtag "corona" in Arabic ( كورونا ) is behaving in a bizarre fashion.
Sometimes the newest tweet is 1 hour old. Then suddenly there will be very recent tweets only seconds old. Refresh again...and the newest tweet is again an hour old.
It occurs to me that maybe some entity is DOS attacking twitter with tweets, at the same time, containing this hashtag, multiple times, and with multiple accounts. This is disrupting the process???
