Completely agree.

Anecdotally - based on social media, extended family, friends and neighbours, the people who are most in favor of restrictive policies and lockdowns have family members or very close friends who are in an "at risk" category. Also, they are NOT impacted by lockdowns themselves, i.e no loss of income, no mental health issues. In many cases, their disposable / investable income has actually increased because entertainment and dining out expenses have dramatically decreased.

Meanwhile, the lockdowns WILL cause young mothers to die prematurely due to breast cancer. My wife just scheduled her mammogram - was able to book an appointment within a week, but ONLY because she could free up her schedule and take a cancellation opening. Otherwise, 3 plus months.
