A very large amount of cases are simply false positives. We have no idea how widespread the disease is, but it’s certainly less spread and deadly than feared. This has been talked about in non-mainstream news for a while, but is only recently recognised in the state and big media organisations around the western world.

Like terrorism was in the 00’s, this is proving very useful for those who want to expand their power via the state.

These 2 statements seem to contradict each other. If it's less spread than feared / reported, that would mean it's more deadly than reported.

Would you show me the contradiction in more detail please?

When talking about case numbers, it’s (very) inflated by the large number of false positives in PCR tests.

When speaking of deaths, at least where I’m around (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Germany) the reported numbers are people dead who also tested positive for covid-19. I suppose reported deaths work similarity elsewhere.

The claim about 2020 being the best year in decades for those who want to concentrate statist power I guess we can agree to be objectively true.
