One of the things that non-Mormons who follow the Q drops misses entirely. Latter-day saints follow a living prophet. In the last few years, that prophet has directed members of the Church to be more focused on home worship. The Church meetings have been downsized and consolidated. A whole new gospel study curriculum was introduced to facilitate gospel study at home. Now here we are, facing potential quarantines in our homes. Those who followed the prophet are prepared, in many ways.
Non-LDS folks have learned to follow Q and, hopefully, to prepare for this situation. One thing he wouldn't know, see, or understand is that all of this COVID-19 thing is happening before what promises to be the most significant General Conference since the Conference Center was dedicated. The Prophet promised us that the Conference will not only be memorable; it would be unforgettable also. That is significant language from a man who is not given to overstating things.
We know the pattern. Whenever something significant is about to occur in the spiritual world, Satan positions his forces to oppose it before it arrives. This is the 200th anniversary of the First Vision, the moment God decided to pierce the veil and speak to a mortal prophet after some 1,800 years. What amazing new truths, revelations, temples, or initiatives could be announced?. Now the General Authorities will be "preaching to the choir" in the Conference Center, because the public won't be there. That's an odd situation, preaching to an empty room, and an audiences scattered around the world by satellite. I have to ask, is the pandemic Satan's attempt to block something major from happening, or diverting attention from it? We will soon find out.
While non-LDS Qanons await the arrival of "The Storm" and feel that things are moving quickly, we LDS anons have an even greater sense of anticipation.
