Let's not forget Germany:

"A report on the coronavirus by the German Ministry of the Interior was leaked on May 9th 2020 by officer Stephan Kohn to the magazine Tichys Einblick, one of the most popular alternative media in Germany. The report, on which a dozen or so doctors and professors from various universities in Germany have worked, states that “the state has failed in the coronavirus crisis in an almost grotesque way.” In a press release, the scientists concerned stated that “the observable effects and consequences of COVID-19 do not provide sufficient evidence that it is more than a false alarm in terms of health effects on society as a whole. The new virus has probably never posed a risk to the population in excess of normal levels […]. The people dying from corona are mainly those who are statistically dying this year because they have reached the end of their lives and their weakened bodies are no longer able to withstand random daily exposure (including to the approximately 150 viruses currently in circulation). The danger of COVID-19 has been overestimated. (No more than 250,000 deaths from COVID-19 worldwide within a quarter of a year, compared to 1.5 million deaths during the flu wave in 2017/18). Of course, the risk is no greater than that of many other viruses. In all likelihood, we are dealing with a global false alarm that has gone unnoticed for a long time.”

They also didn’t have anything positive to say about the ‘protective’ measures of the German criminal government. “The collateral damage [because of the measures] is now enormous and far greater than any observable benefit. […] Just a comparison of previous deaths due to the virus with deaths due to the protective measures prescribed by the State […] supports this finding. Much of this damage will continue to manifest itself even in the near and distant future. This can no longer be prevented but can only be minimized. […] The shortcomings and failures in crisis management have consequently led to the dissemination of unsubstantiated information, and thus disinformation, to the public. […] The State turned out to be one of the biggest fake-news producers in the coronacrisis.”"

Just to be clear: that is a "report on the coronavirus by the German Ministry of the Interior" in the sense that the "leaker" works there, wrote that report on his own (he wasn't part of the groups working on COVID specifically) based on at least cherry-picked data and then sent out on the official letterhead without permission.
