My boss is leftie. I suspect he knows something in advance. I know too but from the other side ... here ;)

Recently there are people in our company who got COVID. Usually it was treated very seriously, but now no one is bothered. Everyone are treating it like a flu. I would expect lefties to exaggerate it. Instead I have a feeling that they're bluffing and will be creating a new bubble based on false claims.

At some point my boss has mentioned "COVID Christmas". It looks like he knows something's coming. I would expect the next hystery. We know it will be fake again.

Not sure if you have the same feeling or whether this information helps. Just sharing.
