Hello...I don't think this is the about the coronavirus...
my first study was to understand the original text of the word apocalypse:
apokalupsis: an uncovering
Original Word: ἀποκάλυψις, εως, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: apokalupsis
Phonetic Spelling: (ap-ok-al'-oop-sis)
Definition: an uncovering

I am in agreement here that the rider of the White Horse is The Word of God, Jesus...

In the book of Revelation, the meanings are positive. For those who are faithful and who serve the true God, what is written is never fearful or terrifying. People associate the word “Apocalypse” with great wars and disasters.
But what does the book of Revelation tells us? Happy is the one who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and who observe the things written in it, for the appointed time is near. (Revelation 1:3) Look! I am coming quickly. Happy is anyone observing the words of the prophecy of this scroll.” (Revelation 22:7) Yes. The book of Revelation begins and ends by saying that those who reads, understands and applies its messages, would be glad for doing so.
“THE RIDER OF THE WHITE HORSE”
“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder: “Come!” And I saw, and look! a white horse, and the one seated on it had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went out conquering and to complete his conquest. Revelation 6:1, 2 (NWT)) Who is the rider of the “White Horse”? I saw heaven opened, and look! a white horse. And the one seated on it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness. His eyes are a fiery flame, and on his head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself, and he is clothed with an outer garment stained with blood, and he is called by the name The Word of God. (Revelation 19:11-13). In the quoted verse it is mentioned “The Word of God.” Who is the “Word” of God?
Let us refer another Bible Scripture. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. This one was in the beginning with God. All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence. What has come into existence 4 by means of him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light is shining in the darkness, but the darkness has not overpowered it. (John 1:1-5)
So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only begotten son from a father; and he was full of divine favour and truth. (John 1:14)
Now it is clearly evident that the “Word” refers to Jesus Christ. Hence, Jesus Christ is the rider of the White Horse. On his outer garment, yes, on his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. (Revelation 19:16) Jesus Christ is called “King of Kings” and “Lord of Lords”. Jesus Christ is described as true and faithful. He does not exercise his power in a corrupt or abusive manner. He is given the authority to act as a “Warrior King.” The Almighty God Lord Jehovah granted Jesus Christ the power and the authority to rule and to execute judgment. The colour ‘White” symbolizes “Righteousness.” The ‘White Horse” is an appropriate symbol for “Warfare,” rightly carried out by God’s Son, Jesus Christ.
Here we see the white horse mentioned again:
Revelation 19:9-19
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a
white horse; and he that sat upon him was called
Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
