Twitter has seemingly 'fact checked' a BBC tweet that claimed a study suggested the Covid pandemic's impact on mental health was "minimal".
And people flooded online to question how valid the Brirish Medical Journal (BMJ) study actually is, sharing their own experiences. Many have shared how boredom and isolation got the better of them and their mental state throughout the pandemic restrictions.
Twitter 'fact checked' the tweet by adding context. It higlighted that the BBC article quoted the study's authors acknowledgement that the study "risks hiding important effects among disadvantaged groups“.
