I mean, the idea is also that the 3 month lockdowns themselves have hard numbers behind them. From what I understand economists have themselves already modeled out the effect of covid-19 without a lockdown and found a lockdown is still more economically beneficial.

Do you have a source for those models? I'd be interested in seeing that.
But you'd also have to do the same for the 3 months they've taken from everyone else due to lockdowns.
Until they do that sort of thing, its politics not a social science.
