There isn't a looming boogeyman like COVID, so I don't think there will be anything like lockdowns. However, there will certainly be insane policies and insane compliance.
So, I don't think moving to a sparsely populated location will be enough this time. Nation-states learned a lot of lessons during lockdowns. They will be more competent at enforcing new insane policies in sparsely populated locations.
To be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't move to a sparsely populated location. Rather, I think it will take more work than that to avoid the next wave of insane policies.
Oh I am following international media as it is my profession and I can clearly say that they are preparing people for the next covid round. In my opinion they will roll out the same playbook with travel restrictions and lockdowns when the debt spiral gets out of control and we have a credit freeze.

This is the first I'm hearing of this, but I am not surprised. In late 2020, I had warned friends/family that lockdowns would return, but I thought it would be a while longer.
Do you have any clear examples of the media hyping up COVID again? Or are the news stories similar to those in late 2019?

''Eris'' is the new killer variant that's been hyped lately.

The compliance was the most insane part of Covid.

Yes, indeed. But it's so easy putting all responsibility of Your life in the hands of some god-like politicians and their camarilla.
