this was mostly report of some gloomy incidents in bitcoin and some of them weren't really that significant or even untrue. there were a lot more news about bitcoin in the first quarter of 2020. for example the French news about adopting bitcoin as a legal way of payment or the Indian government ordering banks to loosen their grip on their customers regarding bitcoin trading and some more positive news which were more significant than COVID, altcoins or some whale moving coins.
I think that it wasn't included as it didn't affect the market much and maybe CD was trying to mention the most significant things that straight affected the price.
