Coronavirus panic led people to discuss possible harsh state involvement in controlling the situation, the imposition of direct military control of normal civilian functions by a government known as martial law. The problem is that many people who are keen on discussing politics do not know how to spell and turn to what they know, spelling it as “marshall”.
It resulted in many reaction posts like this one:
Saw #MarshallLaw trending and thought @Eminem had a new song out but it's just stupid people who can't spell 'martial law' correctly. pic.twitter.com/DSZPegiLbw

Even senator Mark Rubio misspelled the term provoking Eminem to clarify:
Sorry guys… Marshall Law: not a thing. https://t.co/YKm1b5UGBE

But really, wouldn’t it be the humanity last hope, Marshall releasing the diss track to kill the virus?
