It is not a seasonal flu... this is a corona virus... it is a zoonotic virus... it proteins and structure are very different than influenza virus.
There are multiple swine influenza viruses, as well as avian flu viruses.

Here is what webmd.com, not an unbiased source, has to say about coronaviruses.

"The coronavirus is the cause of about 20% of colds. There are more than 30 kinds, but only three or four affect people."

So to call coronavirus the flu might actually be overstating it. Perhaps we should downgrade the description to a cold?

At any rate, I don't think the government has any ill intentions related to Covid 19. At some future time, the governments of the world most certainly will express anti-Christian sentiments and persecute believers, but I don't think it is a good idea for Christians to attribute these motives when there is no solid evidence to substantiate the claims.
I think we are in the end of days, and there is persecution against Christians, Jesus constantly says this will happen. At the same time, i do not believe COVID19 is targeted towards Christians, everyone is suffering not just believers.

I would hold the same position. I am much more concerned about the lawless society reflected in the riots than Covid19. If you watch some of the videos of rioting, the spirit of the evil one is plainly evidenced.
