"But why would it mainly be affecting young people?"

Young people were more likely to survive with permanent damage rather than die from Covid, and because they were less likely to die and everyone was pretending long Covid didn't exist young people were also told Covid was "not a big deal" so they were less likely to protect themselves.

And were most likely to be in job/financial positions that meant they were exposed more and/or not provided the protections of working from home.

I mean, they've also accused former IDF officers and actual rabbis of being antisemites for speaking out against the government.

"Elrond knew all about runes of every kind. That day he looked at the swords they had brought from the trolls' lair, and he said: 'These are not troll-make. They are old swords, very old swords of the High Elves of the West, my kin. They were made in Gondolin for the Goblin-wars. They must have come from a dragon's hoard or goblin plunder, for dragons and goblins destroyed that city many ages ago'.."

Chapter 3, A Short Rest. "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien

Elrond's outfit is based off of a melange of ancient dress, most notably Assyrian, with some medieval dagging in there to evoke the shape of leaves. Gandalf is based largely on the Quechua people who inhabit the Andean region of South America with some Viking touches here and there.
