Buenas tardes, qué tal. Les agradeceré si me dijeran cómo traducirían esta expresión en este contecto.
"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."

Carpa de clasificación
He escogido el término "carpa" dado que abarca a mucha más gente y estamos hablando de un término para abarcar a una gran gama de personas.
Example sentence:

This looks like the work of a nutjob. Are you translating it on your own initiative or is this a paid job? Why should we help spread this sort of rubbish? (The text is available online at several sites, which also carry articles about pseudo-science stuff such as orgone). I'm not going to link to them here.
