  1. Right you are! It's a Chinese bio-weapon, and the reason why the Chinese unleashed it when they did is very obvious to anyone who was up-to-date on the trends in classical music. There's an opera-- Puccini's last opera-- which is very challenging and not performed all that often, except by the really top-level companies, because it's so difficult for the singers. Puccini never finished it, but other lesser composers have composed endings. It's called Turandot and it is set in ancient Peking, or rather, in Puccini's fantasy of what ancient Peking was like. Now, Turandot was experiencing renewed popularity early in 2020; it was a big fad in the opera world. The Met was scheduled to do it in April, and several other opera companies like San Francisco Opera and Chicago Lyric Opera were gonna do it, and even the "little-grand-opera" companies like Regina Opera in Brooklyn and West Bay Opera in Palo Alto -- companies which cast young, still-unknown singers to give them a start on their careers, and which perform in small venues for audiences of fewer than 150 people, were getting ready to do it. It was also trendy in Europe. (These trends come and go.) This opera Turandot is very offensive to Chinese nationalists, because it depicts the Chinese people as superstitious, bloodthirsty barbarians ruled by a sadistic tyrant. But because of COVID-19, the companies had to cancel their performances. This was obviously what the Chinese government was hoping to accomplish by unleashing the virus at that particular time-- to prevent Turandot from being performed in Europe and USA. That is cui bono in this case.
