Ratioed [rey-shee-ohd] – On the social media platform Twitter, getting ratioed is when replies to a tweet vastly outnumber likes or retweets. This means people are objecting to the tweet and considering its content bad.
Former governor Matt Bevin got significantly ratioed for a tweet he posted about the coronavirus. It was seen by many as a slam at current governor Andy Beshear and his handling of the health situation in Kentucky.
Here’s the tweet:
BREAKING NEWS:
Chicken Little has just confirmed that the sky IS indeed falling…
Everyone is advised to take cover immediately and to bring lots of toilet paper with them when they do so…

As a proud Kentuckian, this is shameful to see. You understand there will be deaths in Kentucky from this illness, right? Colleges have gone to online learning and the NCAA has announced no fans will be in attendance at basketball tournament games. Have some compassion.

Another confirmation voters made the right choice. Following advice of CDC infectious disease specialists & epidemiologists isn’t an indication of a falling sky but of prudent leadership to slow the spread & better assure medical resources are available to vulnerable populations.
