covid = population control it takes the old weak and sick

That's true but there have been "only" 5 million deaths world wide and in the context of the worlds population, 5 million is not a significant number. The Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 -1920 is said to have killed between 20 and 50 million when the world population was perhaps 2 to 3 billion and that was a significant hit. One odd thing about the flu was that it mostly killed young adults and not the elederly. Another oddity is that it ended when the virus suddenly mutated into a benign form.

The Earls (barons) swore fealty to the King for what they held.

Yes. The deal was the Baron owned the land on which the tenants tilled the fields,
raised the cattle and gave the larger portion to the Baron.
In return the Baron promised troops to the King if needed.

The baron did not "own" the land. He could not sell it, and he held it only at the King's pleasure.

In one of his tirades as Stalin's prosecutor in the purge trials, Andrei Vyshinsky said the defendants were fit only to be "manure for Soviet fields."
