> Covid-19 has unleashed state corruption on a grand scale, and it is harmful to public health.

Well, I think state corruption was already prevalent before COVID-19, but point taken.

It’s very rare that something is unleashed that wasn’t previously extant and leashed.

It wasn't 'leashed'; people were just more oblivious to it when mainstream media preferred to politely ignore it rather than tell people it was happening.
