“Scamdemic” is a misleading term that suggests what’s happening is imaginary or contrived. It wouldn’t be appreciated by folks in places like Bergamo, Italy, the Bronx, and many, many other places around the planet, and especially by hospital workers in “hot spots.” They would definitely find the term offensive. “Pandemic” applies.
If you believe all news sources everywhere are controlled by some single group, all news stories orchestrated by it, all members of all news organizations forced to adhere to some hidden party line, you may as well believe in the existence of Galactic Councils. Certainly no end of propaganda and misinformation _is_ part of the mix and there are times when many major news organization _do_ toe some “mainstream” line. Yet even there, some retrench — look at PBS, for example, with Bill Moyers’ series on WMD and the Invasion of Iraq — too bad this came out afterwards, not at the time. Maybe that was cowardly, but it shows how non-monolithic things can be.
A great deal of chaos and unpredictability typically accompanies human affairs while those of wealth and power often do entertain schemes of control, whether effective to some degree or not — that’s been true for thousands of years; no surprise (look at Assyrian resettlement plans for conquered populations).
They may attempt to take advantage of spontaneously arising events they didn’t create and it’s definitely true that some of them, from time to time, also engineer events for their nefarious purposes. They may seek to take advantage, too, of business/technology developments, but there’s always a degree of chaos and unpredictability in that sphere, too. (Anyone who doesn’t work in those areas may not fully appreciate this.)
You can sketch out the plans and organizations of those who would control, to the extent that anyone can gain access to them, and this can be useful and illuminating. At the same time, it’s useful to remember how much is spontaneous, unpredictable, chaotic, and controlled by no one, and how even the best of plans can go awry. (As one example of endless, take a look at the Schlieffen Plan.)
