English term or phrase: At this point, people will show up and say,
The stage magic trick is easy to see, once you grasp the tactics: Claim to have discovered a new virus. Say it is spreading and needs to be contained. Invent an umbrella label for the epidemic: COVID-19. Start pulling all sorts of people with all sorts of different conditions under the umbrella and say they're all "cases." Use a diagnostic test that will automatically turn out many verdicts of "infected." And you have the illusion of a pandemic.

At this point, people will show up and say, BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS? WHAT ABOUT THAT? WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE SUDDENLY DYING IN CITY X?

Al oír ésto aparecerá mucha gente diciendo


Explanation:
De nuevo, evitaría también aquí forzar la versión en castellano con traducciones excesivamente literales y trasladaría el mismo sentido manteniendo la fluidez y el tono coloquial del original;

Al oír [Al leer] ésto aparecerá mucha gente diciendo ¿PERO Y QUÉ PASA CON ESTO? ¿Y QUÉ PASA CON AQUELLO? ¿QUÉ PASA CON TODA LA GENTE QUE SE HA MUERTO DE REPENTE EN X?
