How quickly is the COVID-19 pandemic spreading around the world, one wondered.

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/sJg0aRUP0a pic.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

I bet some of the 130,835 in “Other religions” are Jedi.
Twitter allows embedding tweets on external websites:
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.

</blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>So, one solution is to create a Google Alert for: twitter.com “@{{username}}”
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.
