This is just opposite opinion that specifically exaggerated to make a balance.
COVID-19 is in the spotlight. So it’s very easy to find the culprit. While we focus on one thing, the real reason may be different (or there is no any). Plus make a note. Authors put more attention to their personal data and some posts in this thread. And almost absolutely ignore the fact that this is extremely small sample size to make any kind of hypotheses.
But it all is boring stuff. Much more fun is to make a meme, that will grab more attention than rational words. Human kind 
UPD: Oh, and COVID-19 is not a a global pandemic. Yes, it’s hard to note. Especially when every news only talks about that. Thankfully, it’s only an imposed vision.
