Another mystery is how so many left wingers have gravitated to lockdown support when lockdowns predominantly hurt the poor and underprivileged.

100K dead figure for Covid isn't reliable. It's deeply misleading. It combines data from two seasons (2019-20 and 2020-21). It includes people who did not die with covid at all. It includes many who died with it but not because of it. It doesn't note 50K excess deaths in 2017-18.
