“Washes his hands. Always wears a mask. Rearrange the letters in Racoon and it spells CORONA!”

“Racoon” (“raccoon” with only one “C”) is an anagram of “Corona” (as in “Coronavirus”). In the Japanese horror media franchise Resident Evil, there are outbreaks of zombies and other monsters created mainly by the Umbrella Corporation, located in Raccoon City. The Coronavirus was said by many to have started in a lab in Wuhan, China, under the name “Bao Hu san,” which means “umbrella.” The logos of the Umbrella Corporation and “Bao Hu san” are identical, except for a different color. [Full Fact and Lupa have stated that Shanghai Ruilan Bao Hu San Biotech Limited is based in Shanghai, not Wuhan.]

More spooky:
Corona is an anagram for racoon, but also Corona virus is an anagram for carnivorous. Also there’s that Shanghai biochem lab with the umbrella logo and umbrella in the name.

Wait, so there’s a biological research lab with the exact same logo as the Umbrella Corporation right in the city where the #coronarvirus originated under the name ” Bao Hu san ” which means Umbrella, AND corona is an anagram for racoon.
IS THIS A REMASTRED VERSION OF R.E ?

Mind is blown:
In Resident Evil, you’ve got the umbrella corporation (pharmaceutical bio tech company) and in Shanghai you’ve got a similar company with the same logo with different colours.
Now this is crazy on its own, BUT…
RACOON virus / CORONA virus. = anagram. Tired faceSmiling face with open mouth and cold sweatExploding head

Pretty ironic that the wu bio lab has the EXACT same logo as Umbrella Corp from Resident Evil. Even more ironic that raccoon spells corona.

Whoa, it’s true. Racoon is an anagram of Corona. Always wears a mask, even before it was mandatory. They have been PREPARING, people.
We will soon be forced to worship our racoon overlords. And none of you saw it coming. That’s how we know it was a good plan.
The official mascot of 2020.
Washes his hands insensately.
Always wears a mask.

If this virus were to have mascot, it would be a raccoon. They are always washing their hands constantly, always wearing a mask, and if you rearrange the name it spells Corona!
