Thanks.
This appears to be calls for economic rebuilding after a generational event with a massive impact. Nothing unusual there or reason to think that governments are intentionally mishandling Covid-19 to accelerate change. Most countries are trying to contain or eliminate the disease, with varying degrees of success. If they really were using it "to speed up the process of societal change to this end" you would see a very different and more consistent approach.
Like with most conspiracy theories, it falls down on the level of competence required to execute it. We are seeing mistake after mistake in most countries try to deal with a deadly disease and rapidly changing situations.
With regards to the deadliness of Covid-19. I'd suggest reading reputable scientific papers. There is little argument now that it kills around 1% of people who catch it and that uncontained, this gets to very big numbers,very quickly.
I'd recommend avoiding Sky Australia. It is akin to Fox News and has a lot of crank content.
1. There were calls for this economic rebuilding long BEFORE covid-19 (i assume you are referring to that as your 'generational event' here). I posit that this covid-19 situation is being used to try and accelerate such 'rebuilding': Schwab says it is 'a great opportunity that should not be missed' openly
2. "Intentionally mishandling" is a subjective term; we certainly can see that many are intentonally imposing very draconian lockdowns (or 'lock-steps" as they are referred to in Rockefeller scenario documents from 10 years or so ago:
https://www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Rockefeller Foundation.pdf). Using mass lockdowns as part of infection control has only this year been a thing and was not previously recommended by World Health experts. Lots of scientists are saying they are causing more harm overall than good after the first times they were used, yet they are being consistently used by a lot of countries with a few key exceptions. They are now clearly more about population control rather than infection control (even the WHO say repeated use of them alone as a tactic is flawed).
3. What 'competence' is required to implement lockdowns anyway? As an example, we have seen Ireland constantly impose lockdowns of sorts since the summer on an ongoing basis even though their numbers are very very small: it's like their government is hooked on them like a druggie would be on cocaine.Again. so many countries are using it...even those who were lauded for 'acting early and hard' have reverted to imposing lockdowns and ever more tighter societal controls, seemingly just because and these do not look like 'mistakes' at all.
In Ireland, like here, they have mothballed their 'Nightingale Centres', almost like they are actually not needed and the worry over how bad the virus is actually being highly exaggerated....
4. There are reputable scientific papers who question the continued lockdowns, the use of PCRs to mass test people and also identify deaths, e.g. in the UK, how do we identify in the numbers those who died directly because of the virus and those who tested positive to the virus a few weeks before dying of something totally different (e. a stroke, being a victim of a car accident, someone on cancer palliative care etc). The UK system of counting the deaths is certainly an area of incompetence imo, and PHE already were forced to adjust how they counted the deaths back in the summer; the current system is still wishy-washy (with the emphasis more on inflating the numbers) when you look into it.
There are reputable scientists like Carl Heneghan and Michael Yeadon raising such points around the numbers and our fear associated with them...
5. Sky Australia or whoever reports on such: it's about the detail being presented and how
that is debunked, not the media outlet etc that is mentioning it. When reputable Scientists like Heneghan are labelled as 'spreading fake news' well anyone can get that label. Like with football discussion, it's about paying the ball not the man...
