There is definitely something more to the rage, seeing people die and watching economies collapse.
Ever since 2020 started things have been enraged. People have become more violent and hateful as evident in the riots and looting.
Regarding the corona virus issues, people were eagerly giving rapid updates regarding death and infection milestones ever since it started. I saw "1 million infected!" celebration thread, "100k death!" celebration thread and many such threads. Hundreds of fan-arts, memes made in dedication.
