<p>We did have a hot network question that involved COVID-19 (<a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/454684/">Mother milk of 6 Corona-positive (COVID-19) women does not contain the virus - can we make a confidence statement about this?</a>), but it doesn't seem like too many to me, either.  I find 17 questions that <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/search?tab=newest&amp;q=covid%20is%3aquestion">reference COVID-19</a>, starting 2/16.  I find another 9 questions that <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/search?q=-covid+is%3Aquestion+coronavirus">reference coronavirus</a>, going back a little earlier to 1/28.  It would be an issue if the site were being spammed with off topic questions, but only 4 of those 26 (15%) are closed, that's double the total proportion over that timespan (380/4514=8%), but not terrible, and not significant (p=.42) for what that's worth.</p>
