Those are good points from March 2020. However, it doesn't explain why the panic lasted for so long. Living in fear is stressful and uncomfortable and people naturally seek relief from it. It's not normal to WANT to live in fear. But any good news and research showing that the virus wasn't dangerous were criticized and censored, removed from the social media, called "misinformation", doctors providing early treatments fired and those treatments banned, reasonable policies outside of lockdowns and masks attacked, churches closed. It feels like all hope was killed intentionally...
If things were developing naturally, the panic would've ended in April-May 2020 with the catastrophic models proven to be wrong and early treatments easily available. But I observed the media, instead of slowing down, ramping up its fearmongering and attacks in April-May 2020, which looked pretty fake to me.
In "The Psychology of Totalitarianism" and elsewhere, Mattias Desmet has explained the process of mass formation, whereby an important receptive segment of a population falls into a trance-like state in which it can be influenced and controlled. Much of the remainder of the population "go along" out of conformism and what Erich Fromm so aptly described as "fear of freedom". You yourself point to massive official and mass-media-driven fear-mongering, censorship, official misinformation, and the silencing and persecution of dissenting voices. Clearly, like myself and an awakened minority, you believe ("I feel like all hope was killed intentionally") that this was and is still done deliberately, in order to push the needle and extend control.

That was the psy ops angle like j6 2021 or maidan 2014 or ukraine 2022
