With ignoring case:

a:has-text(/corona/i)

a:has-text(/covid/i)

a:has-text(/epidemic/i)

a:has-text(/pandemic/i)

a:has-text(/virus/i)

a:has-text(/death/i)

a:has-text(/ICU/i)

a:has-text(/social distancing/i)

One-liner:

a:has-text(/corona|covid|epidemic|pandemic|virus|death|social distancing|ICU/i)

The filter is applied to entire content of a given tag and its subtags, here is the example for HN (has-text must be site-specific):

    news.ycombinator.com##.itemlist .athing:not(.comtr):has-text(/corona|covid|\bsars\b|(?:epi|pan)demi|virus|death|social distanc|\bICU\b|wuhan|quarantin/i)+*
    news.ycombinator.com##.itemlist .athing:not(.comtr):has-text(/corona|covid|\bsars\b|(?:epi|pan)demi|virus|death|social distanc|\bICU\b|wuhan|quarantin/i)

Will this remove just the word, or the entire paragraph, or what?
Re:Show HN: Firefox addon that hides news articles about Cov... by lostinroutine on Saturday April 04, 2020 @06:16PM (#22781992)
Just any a-tag containing the listed phrases.

Are there not case insensitive ublock origin filters?
