First of all, one must understand that in order to fix a problem, there must first be a problem. When a perceived existential threat exists, people are much more willing to surrender rights in the name of protection. Remember the passage of the patriot act post 9/11? Thats only one example.

Next, you need to engineer the public opinion that this existential threat does exist to each and every person. you, your family, friends etc. This triggers an emotional response among the population, to which you fan the flames of by creating a narrative among the mainstream media. If most of these outlets (if not all) are suggesting the same concept, that something bad is coming for you, then the public mindset is shifted toward your desired outcome. This is not an act on the scale of millions, it is a surgical operation, requiring the efforts of only a few thousand world-wide.
Mate you just explained the Brexit so well. Years of bullshit media manipulation and lies about bendy bananas, prawn crisps and buttery biscuits. The public bought into a bogeyman so they could vote away their own rights.

As to C19 it’s not an entirely new virus. It’s a cold. Basic hygiene mitigate it to reduce its rate of transmission to less than 1 new person per case.

Catch it, bin it, kill it. Wash your hands properly at the appropriate times. Respect personal space. Make sure buildings are well ventilated. Take extra precautions if symptomatic. Coughs and sneezes spread diseases.

It’s all old knowledge and it shows many people were either not taught basic hygiene or are just disgusting.
