Abstract

In this paper, we compare the three countries, India, Japan, and Indonesia's Twitter topics concerning COVID-19. The tweet data were collected from the period of April 2021 to June 2021. The damage of COVID-19 in India and Indonesia was unprecedented in our human beings history. Unexpectedly we could collect Tweets concerning the pandemic. From the data, we would like to extract unexpected topics to prepare for future challenges from humanitarian standpoints. In Japan, the female suicide rate raised significantly. In India, the Joint Entrance Examination were cancelled due to the pandemic, which caused irregular educational systems timeline for Indian students which might create a lot of concerns in future. In Indonesia, Tweets during the peak period on June 2021 have shown some record of discussion on the scarcity of oxygen tubes at isolation houses during the surge of COVID-19 pandemic cases. The results of the analysis showed us the growing fear of the infection, the situation of lack of oxygen tubes, the sad news of the increase in suicides in Japan, the confusion of the entrance examination system nationwide in India, and services related to the distribution of subsidies from the government in Indonesia.
