Ioho in that position can mean any number of things -- I'm a strange bird who isn't the least bit afraid of death (could be because of Pluto in my first house and Neptune in my third) so when I draw Ioho, I'm happy because it has only positive associations for me. COVID has a less than 1% death rate, so I would not associate it with Ioho unless the querent has trouble and mental blocks when thinking about death and dying.
