When someone writes

> "The only virus there is, is racism", they told us.

That typically means that some specific person, one with power and influence, said the exact words (or something which can be translated to the exact words) "the only virus there is, is racism". If you just mean that some people are talking about racism caused by the coronavirus, that's a very misleading way to phrase it.

Thank you! You said my words better than I could have.

I probably shouldn't compose comments when I am rushing between things!
