Covid-19 is not a corporation, so the notion of "insider trading of non-public corporate information" makes zero sense.

Insider Trading isn't some vague catch-all for non-public information. It has a specific meaning that relates to publicly held corporations.

Sounds like you need to catch up to date on modern law. The STOCK Act passed in 2012 makes this "insider trading".
