Agreed, there is nothing new about the virus, except that is way more easily transmitted than most previous versions. One person in NSW had COVID. He was a driver for airline crew and picked it up from one of them. It's spread over half the country in no time at all.
Your argument does not hold water. The world system runs on money. It requires people to earn and to spend. It requires taxes to be gathered to fund government programs. Anything that threatens business viability is a disaster to the world. Economies are suffering greatly. I can't see too many treasurers rubbing their hands with glee.
As to control, there are different responses in different nations. Australia is over the top in some ways, but we've had nothing like the infection rate and death toll that other countries have suffered. I hate the lockdown. It's my dear friend's birthday this week and our plans have been shelved. I can't even buy her a birthday present. However, she and I are in the age group that is most vulnerable to this blight. I'll put up with the impositions.
Governments don't need a virus to control people. It's been increasing by stealth way before COVID started. And its not only governments. Google and facebook could teach communism a thing or two.

Government tyranny is simply unacceptable. Once your rights and freedoms are gone....good luck getting them back.
Nazi style vaxx passports were predicted....and here we are. This debacle is a windfall for tin-pot dictators everywhere.
