Interest of"Team Worst Case Scenario", Sue Webber

“[T]here is a process, being fed by mainstream media accounts and genuine panic in populations unclear what the real dangers are, that has alarming implications for the post-pandemic future.... A relevant question is whether certain bad actors, and there are some in this world, are opportunistically using the widespread fears around the COVID-19 to advance an agenda of “lock step” top down social control, one that would include stark limits on travel, perhaps replacing of cash by “sanitary” electronic cash, mandatory vaccination even though the long term side effects are not proven safe, unlimited surveillance and the curtailing of personal freedoms such as political protests on the excuse it will allow “identification of people who refuse to be tested or vaccinated,” and countless other restrictions. Much of the Rockefeller 2010 scenario is already evident. Fear is never a good guide to sound reason.”
F. William Engdahl (10 March 2020)  [2]
Emphasis in original

COVID-19 has caused panic, which has been helpful in facilitating the passage of COVID-19/Legislation.

Reporting

Commercially-controlled media and official institutions have generally tended to maximise the possible dangers of COVID-19.

Dissenting voices

On the 7 March 2020, before widespread introduction of COVID lockdown measures, Craig Murray published Document:Momento Mori – Unpopular Thoughts on Corona Virus which referred to the "mass hysteria around the current coronavirus".

On 30 March 2020, Jonathan Sumption called the coronavirus hysteria an exaggerated threat:

"Hysteria is infectious. We are working ourselves up into a lather in which we exaggerate the threat and stop asking ourselves whether the cure may be worse than the disease."

Worldwide specialist from the health profession are voicing their concerns about the response that the governments of their countries have taken.[3]

Germany

Klaus Püschel, chief of forensic medicine for the city of Hamburg stated:[4] "This virus influences our lives in a completely excessive way. It is out of all proportion to the danger posed by the virus. And the astronomical economic damage now being done is not commensurate with the danger posed by the virus. I'm convinced that the Corona mortality rate will not even be noticeable as a peak within the annual mortality." (6 April 2020)[5]

Sweden

Johan Giesecke, adviser to the Swedish Government and the director general of the WHO in an interviews says, that the projected numbers by the Imperial college paper were way overestimated and he never has seen a such an impact by a paper that was never peer-reviewed. Better policy would have been to protect the old and the frail only. Social distancing and closures are not methods that do have much evidence base for success. (17 April 2020)[6]

United States

Dr. Annie Bukacek, founder of Hosanna Health Care in Kalispell - Montana:[7] "Few people know how much individual power and leeway is given to the physician coroner or medical examiner signing the death certificate. How do I know this? I’ve been filling out death certificates for over 30 years. More often than we want to admit, we don’t know with certainty the cause of death when we fill out death certificates. (…) When it comes to COVID-19, there’s the additional data skewer that there is no universal definition of COVID-19 death. The Center for Disease Control, updated from yesterday April 4th, still states that mortality data includes both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19. (…) The CDC counts both true COVID-19 cases and speculative guesses of COVID-19 the same, they call it death by COVID-19. They automatically overestimate the real death numbers by their own admission. (…) The real number of COVID-19 deaths are not what most people are told and what they then think." [8][9] (6 April 2020)

Deaths

Various people have overdosed on supposedly prophylactic drugs in an effort to prevent or treat the disease or engaged in other risky or fatal behaviour out of panic.

Alexander Myasnikov“It’s all bullsh*t... It’s all exaggerated. It’s an acute respiratory disease with minimal mortality. Why has the whole world been destroyed? That I don’t know.”Alexander Myasnikov
NBC“Dr Joseph Fair appeared at least 10 times on NBC and MSNBC over the last two months to share his fight against Covid-19 with the networks’ viewers. His television appearances – including an interview from his hospital bed – fueled panic about the illness. Describing himself as a fit and healthy 42-year-old, Fair claimed in May that he had absorbed the virus through his eyes while on a flight. As it turns out, there is no reason to believe he ever contracted the virus.”
David Malcolm NottThis disease is so virulent, it's so dangerous and so pathogenic, it causes such high mortality... If you look at David Miliband and you look at his International Rescue Committee. He did some modelling based on the Imperial College London at WHO and in 34 fragile countries he has shown that in the next few weeks if we don't do anything, 500 million or one billion people will become infected and of that 3 million will possibly die... This is a global problem, and we're really all in our little countries dealing with the problems on our own... not our country but other countries are making huge mistakes... What we really really need is a global pandemic executive perhaps which can go to every country in this world and say look, we have learned from this pandemic. We know how to deal with it. We know what the problems are. [Led by who?] Led by David Miliband, without a shadow of a doubt. We've got somebody who is a respectful statesman, politician, had an enormous track record, and he needs to be in charge of it.”David Malcolm NottMay 2020

The difference in average life expectancy between the two groups will prove to be only very marginal. That is because the large majority of those who die of COVID-19 will already be nearing the end of life or have other health problems.
