Opportunists are clearly using COVID-19 as a war on the working class and people of color. That's who this disease is killing the most of. That's why you have Trump's guy Mr. Atlas promoting "Herd immunity" aka let everyone get infected and let the weak perish and why you have so many people using "but muh freedumb" as an excuse to fight government orders for masks and lockdowns. It's not at all about freedom - it's because everyone knows Coronavirus is killing the very people the Far Right has deemed undesirable.
This works quite well for the elite agenda. Because killing the working class and poor wipes out the demographic that votes the most for "socialist" programs like higher taxes and social safety nets.
