I also think the same, this pandemic has been exaggerated too much, so that it makes many people worry and panic, is done on purpose and published continuously every day,
If we want to look at the comparison between the dead and the cured, there are far more people who are cured, which means that actually a pandemic is not as terrible as many people imagine, it's just that information that shouldn't circulate has a bad impact. create panic en masse and there is a situation like now.
There are many conspiracy theories flying around but I really think this was a case of institutions not really knowing what was going to happen with the virus, fortunately for us the virus is not as bad as it seemed to be at the beginning, but the truth is you never know how lethal a virus is going to be until it infects enough people, so it seems to me that governments were really afraid of this new virus because of this unknown factor and they tried to protect their populations by exercising strong lockdowns.
