Could the corona virus be the sign in 6:158

[TheUnseenLight]

Could the corona virus be the sign in 6:158, would it be too late to repent?

6:158
Do they [then] wait for anything except that the angels should come to them or your Lord should come or that there come some of the signs of your Lord? The Day that some of the signs of your Lord will come no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it had not believed before or had earned through its faith some good. Say, "Wait. Indeed, we [also] are waiting."

[Layth]

Salam,

I would say categorically "no".

God's signs are quite destructive when they come and are very clear to understand.

This virus is more like a trade/political tool being thrown around between nations and everyone is just suffering from the political fallout and money grabbing by pharma companies and interest groups.
