Summary/Abstract: COVID 19 pandemic spread to 185 out of 193 o the United Nations member states (95,8%). It posed challenge to customs, laws and norms which connect people, ensure social cohesion and facilitate functioning of human community (from family, friends, colleagues to nation and state). We are witnessing break in these bonds, destruction of human life, collapse of everyday life and loss of meaning in one's existence. Underlying motive of the dominant world elites is to preserve status quo and to save Western social model which is faces structural crisis. The real goal of the "strategy of of battle against pandemic" and purportedly salvage mechanisms of "self-isolation", "social distancing" and "lockdown" are not health and well-being of people but: 1) forced separation and existential seclusion, 2) production and dissemination of fear, 3) alienation of an individual, 4) total control of subjects, 5) digitalization of all means of communication and 6)declaring permanent state of emergency. All these goals are summed in the strategy of so called new normal which is developing in the context of reevaluation of previously dominant principles (the Great Reset) with the aim to solve global capital crisis. Corona -19 and similar pandemics have proven to be: firstly, effective means of establishing domination of order in the form of attacking personality and freedom of individual both nationally and globally and secondly, an important strategy of new totalitarianism - the bridge between authoritarianism which restricts freedom and totalitarianism which abolishes it. It is the shortest and most efficient rout to global totalitarianism - a society of degrading subordination, slave-like exploitation and domination. However it is too early to draw definitive scientific conclusions, as the pandemic is still ongoing.
