1) The world economy was already going to crash into a second Great Depression in 2020 (illiquid/overleveraged banks/governments. irresponsible monetary policy.) I think a lot of people at the top actually knew this.
2) This was going to cause mass chaos and riots in the streets in every country around the world, as well as a public awakening about the robbery by the financial elite class.
3) Some way had to be invented both to excuse the economic collapse, and to get people quarantined into their houses for the police state to take over.
4) The coronavirus was made the pretext for this, and people were pressured into accepting it by the media incitement of mass panic. The virus is real but this was planned long before.
They've already been practicing for this since before the outbreaks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWRmlumcN_s. The things said in this 'simulation' are nearlly exactly what they are saying now. Also notice how a lot of the numbers regarding COVID that are are being cited in new articles are coming from Johns Hopkins.
They defend themselves on their website:
Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus, the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional virus are not similar to nCoV-2019.
In October 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted a pandemic tabletop exercise called Event 201 with partners, the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

5) The virus not only saves the elite class from blame during the inevitable collapse, but allows them to impose any authoritarian measures they wish on the general public. Note how military vehicles are rolling out all over America and Europe.

6) People will be made isolated, jobless, and, with the UBI which is now coming out, dependent on the state.
On Social Isolation: My grandmother said she'd rather die of flu than not be able to sit and eat with her grandchildren. 'Social Isolation' is a big crock of shit!
7) People will be forced to take vaccinations and be microchipped in order to come back into normal life (see Bill Gates on Reddit recently). https://id2020.org/digital-identity
8) They will tell you that you need this microchip to go back to work, get on an airplane, or participate in society in any meaningful way. AI Systems which have been piloted in China will be implemented in western nations now that people are weakened and more accepting of any drastic solutions.
There exist economic models that project China to be new superpower by 2032. As china rises in wealth and influence, our governments will become more like theirs: maximum authoritarian. Think Centralized tracking systems.
Key point to support this: Major institutions in America have already been sold out to the chinese in order to make a quick buck. CNN, Democrats, Hollywood. And there are lots of 'Republicans' too. It's beyond "left" and "right". Do some research on it. Mainstream media WILL NOT TALK ABOUT IT because it will upset Chinese investors. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/02/19/tucker_carlson_america_is_being_sold_to_china.html
If you support the current measures by our government to take away all our rights over this virus, you are playing into their hand. It is a fitness test. If we submit, we become more buglike.
Update 3/23:
Apparently China is back online and they have no problems with the Virus anymore. Is it a lie? Or is the virus outbreak there fake?
