We develop a lexicon of keywords associated with risk communication about the pandemic response, then use automated coding to identify message content and message structural features. They found that actionable and instructive messages and those that included a visual image were highly shared regardless of the time period; however, daily updates in the form of forecasts or current weather conditions involving little uncertainty, as well as message features that increase interaction, such as direct replies and URLs, decreased message passing. Messages that include information sharing decreases retransmission; however, this content increased post emergency declaration by 61%.	./cache/cord-334955-gnu92up6.txt	./txt/cord-334955-gnu92up6.txt
