" Anyone who claims the bitcoin price is in any way organic, or follows real-world events, is simply talking nonsense."
Yes because it's not following the stock market, it's doing the opposite.
Now, about your question if it's benefiting from corona virus? I think it is, otherwise it would already fall at this time and we will see it's low price again.
There are a lot of factors many, first factor is the investors as they are the one who can drive a big move to the market, next is just the use case of bitcoin and that includes gambling since casinos are increasing in crypto, so that means inflow of money are doing well.
