Actually, COVID-19 is just a promotional tool used by EA to make people buy the new Plague Inc. game, also published by EA.
The goal of this new game is to hide from a deadly virus while simultaneously buying as much toilet paper as possible.
Eventually you'll get the virus and then you can either:
1. Stay at home, potentially risking your life.
2. Pay for a premium membership ($$$) and get free hospital treatment, as long as you make sure to post videos of yourself singing, doing makeup tutorials etc on Coronagram, coronachat and coronachan. You have to make sure that people get to know you care about them, but in a slightly condescending way, perhaps throw in a quick message from your sponsors.
EA Horks,
We're in your lungs (hyuk hyuk).
