Keyboard Covid Pop-ups

So has anyone else been getting this exceedingly annoying covid-19 popup on their phone keyboard that covers the suggestion bar??



It started this morning after writing Coronavirus in a comment here on ATS...now it just doesn't go away. It covers up spelling suggestions and if you click on it, it takes you to the WHO covid fact page.

I'm wondering, is this some keyboard specific nonsense...or is this something built into android?

Has anyone else been seeing these?

ETA: I found it...it's keyboard specific:

github

android:contentDescription="@string/covid_19_click_for_info"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:"@drawable/ic_coronavirus_action_strip" />


www.who.int...


mVirusInfo = new CovidInfo(context);
mTypedWordHelper = new OnKeyWordHelper("coronavirus");
mTimeHelper =

Looks like it should be easy to get rid of. Guess I'm.firing up android studio later and doing some keyboard hacking...

I think I'll change it so it links to ATS instead of WHO

Edit2:

Well it's a start







I'll post a link to an apk later if I can get it to build lol.

Someone wants you to know you've been a bad boy

No it doesn't. NSA doesn't have to own anything to get full access.

Won't do anything because they're not some middleclass hackers, they got their trojans right in your essential programs.

Nah...the people that made the keyboard I use are just super woke and concerned apparently.

I was trying to be funny.

Yeah...but your comment was my first thought about iwhat might have been going on. Not targetted...but based on some kind of data Google was collecting.

I'd have kind of preferred that. I liked AnySoftKeyboard. I've used it for years. It's a great keyboard. But this preachy bull# that actively makes using the keyboard difficult pisses me off.

Enough to actually edit the code and remove it.
