In January 2020, Feigl-Ding sounded an early alarm about
COVID-19 and called for
preparedness. His call for pandemic alarm
went viral on
Twitter and was amplified by media outlets. During the
COVID-19 pandemic, Feigl-Ding's Twitter posts on the matter were popular. His tweets on the pandemic have been criticized by other scientists as alarmist, misleading, and inaccurate.
