Consider as an idea that COVID is a conspiracy (leaders keeping a plan secret) to gain control of the population, then it's not been strong enough. Enough people are not scared of catching it that there's lots of pushback across the planet. Perhaps COVID 2021 has been cancelled because it's been discovered from COVID 19 that it won't be strong enough to terrify the population.

An alternative scenario to get people begging for controls?

A scenario that's entirely plausible and the PTB could engineer to be more infectious and less damaging as quickly, and also fits in with global warming reduction initiatives of the "Great Reset" would be a terrible bug released from melting permafrost - that also sidesteps the issues with finding the cause and raising nationalism.

Remember COVID got people wondering about Wuhan and the only BSL4 lab in China there? The media pushback was massive - "unfounded fake news" they yelled. Oh no no - nationalism won't do.

Small-pox emerging from the melting permafrost can be framed by the media as an issue that we ALL are guilty for doing, a terrible disease that makes for terrifying pictures. Something that's not been vaccinated against for decades, and of which vaccines aren't made. No boost of nationalism, terror level massive, no push back against lockdowns.

THAT pandemic would produce a perfectly controllable world population. Maybe a change to the virus would be making it more infectious, but take longer to create pustules and damage they infected.

Now I think this is very unlikely - as a control system it's capable of getting out of control, and COVID could be an accidental leak from Wuhan or a natural group of bat strain mutations. (some mutations are really unlikely if you read about it!)

But if it happens - my money is on a controlled release, and not a permafrost thawing issue.
