Reportedly either the virus was engineered/hijacked/co-opted by patriotic forces in order to target/sicken/kill adrenochrome users
OR
a large shipment of adrenochrome manufactured in the Soros/Gates-backed Wuhan lab (street address WuXi PharmaTech Inc. 666 Gaoxin Road East Lake High-tech Development Zone Wuhan 430075, China) was intentionally tainted with COVID
So adrenochrome users get deathly ill while most of the population remains unaffected - they can't bug off to safehouses or bunkers because they will die - they are then given the choice between facing their actions in court / being treated or preserving their reputation/legacy and going quietly - '<famous name here> succumbed to Coronavirus, they will be missed'
All heresay at this point, but it sounds like a stroke of genius
