Yeah, as you say a pandemic doesn't need fckn advertising. Basically, the whole thing needed to be treated in a sensible scientific way, all the fear-mongering from government and media was transparent to anyone with even a modicum of intelligence.

About anxiety and depression, we all suffer from time to time but since I read the power of now and discovered frequency meditation I have not suffered from these illusions.

In regards to this, I'm not in complete agreement with what you're expressing. I too have read 'the power of now' and love the way Ekhart Tolle points to the power of living in the present, as Buddhists and other practices ancient practices like the Dao Te Ching have helped people reach that state that facilitates healing both mentally and spiritually, Ekhart seems able to express these pointers in a way that the western mindset can grasp easier. I've certainly had many moments of 'no thought' listening to Ekhart speak, or just putting into practice techniques like body scanning.

But the part I highlighted above is where I'm not in complete agreement - we all suffer from time to time - not true for people with clinical depression and anxiety disorder. They do NOT suffer depression and anxiety from time to time, it is there always in the background and from my experience, the practice then becomes to not identify with the suffering it causes. In the case of clinical depression and anxiety disorder, a chemical imbalance might be happening in your brain, but teachers like Ekhart Tolle have helped me immeasurably in allowing me to disconnect from the reactive habits that form as a kind of defense mechanism. Often through years of learned behaviour, these defense mechanisms often don't work anyway, so letting go of them becomes a liberation. And as you said, when you can live in the now, even for a short time, that is truly life-changing.

Fear is the worst way to live, and for me as long as I am taking steps toward the positive mentally or physically, it takes the sting out of the tail of fear. And eventually letting go of it all together is true magic.
