I could be partially or totally wrong on this but all this looks like a perfect script to bail out failing governments.
All countries sacrificing their economy could be because nobody wants to bet against WHO at this moment which is considered the most trusted health organization. Btw, the so called trusted health organization was accused of faking a pandemic when swine flu came in 2010. It later had to change the definition of a pandemic.
A season flu killed 80,000 americans in 2017 alone

The virus is still new and a lot of countries have started to realize it is not so fatal and getting back to its original state gradually. It is now considered less deadlier than when it first came.
The mortality rate of other countries is much lower than that of US and that raises red flags.
We all knew we were near a global recession or perhaps a great depression because the US had artificially been keeping it's economy strong. The interest rates were low for a long long time. The small business, corporates and almost everyone was caught up in debts and an economic collapse was inevitable. Should we really beleive the cause of 30 million people filing for unemployment is because of coronavirus? It was going to happen regardless. And then comes the coronavirus and the government has a solid excuse to blame the virus for everything.
Kelly loefller, a senator and wife of the owner of Nasdaq dumped all her stocks 10 minutes before she addressed a conference where she said there is no need to worry about coronavirus before it was declared a pandemic by WHO.
A lot of billionaires are known to sell when dow was at it peak.
Let's also not forget how US was losing the trade and 5g war to its competitor china. The next technology 5g is considered a trillion dollar industry which can create upto 25 million jobs. The country that wins the 5g race would almost rule the world for the next 15 years and contribute heavily to its economy because most of the other industries are going to be dependent on it. It was clearly losing to china.

It would also put apple and a lot of tech companies at risk.
Us was threatened. It was losing from every end. Dollar was at risk. Then comes coronavirus out of nowhere and they now blame china for it. The only country losing here is china which was the biggest threat to US. A lot of countries are moving their factories out of china without any evidence or a conclusion in hurry. It all looks like it was all planned. A lot of countries which already signed 5g deals with china are now withdrawing their contracts. Us has now wiped out its only competitor and winning trade, 5g and currency war with china all at the same time.
If the pandemic is real, it is becoming more like a boon to the US and its closest allies and a curse for the rest of the world.
P.s - I am from neither of these countries
