How quickly is the COVID-19 pandemic spreading around the world, one wondered.
76 days to the first million, 12 days for 2, 3, 4, and 5 million, and as of July 18th, 2020, 5 days from 12 million to 13 million.
edit: increase height of iframe because 28 25 days later we’re at 20 million
note: Situation Report 209 was the final daily COVID-19 Situation Report. “Beginning tomorrow [August 17, 2020] we will begin publishing the COVID-19 Weekly Epidemiological Update which will focus on analysis and interpretation of the evolving epidemiological situation.”
Ramadan starts tomorrow and it is nice to see elected leaders embrace, celebrate with, and represent the people they serve.
Wishing a blessed Ramadan to Muslims observing the month at home this year. By coming together virtually, we’ll be able to stay connected and still honour the values at the heart of Islam – compassion, peace, and service to others. Ramadan Mubarak! https://t.co/sJg0aRUP0apic.twitter.com/Bl2ESHvICH
Today marks the beginning of #Ramadan for Muslims in Canada and around the world. This year, families will gather for Iftar meals virtually. Staying home will help stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep us all safe. Wishing a blessed month to everyone observing! #RamadanMubarak

This is great for adding content to news articles, websites, blogs, etc. Twitter also ensures that the tweets are displayed using your current name, photo, and the latest Twitter design.
However, there are no alerts for when your tweets are embedded, and that’s rather unfortunate because I would like to know when someone is using my tweets.
As of April 2020, the embed HTML code is:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">
Looking forward to transitioning into my weekend tweets shortly. There will be a brief service delay while we switch sensibilities.

So, one solution is to create a Google Alert for: twitter.com “@{{username}}”
Google Alert for detecting embedded tweets on the internets
This will not detect every instance of an embedded tweet, but if Google finds it on a site they’re crawling, they will send you an email about it.
