This is garbage. Lockdowns work fine if you do them right. This has been evidenced in a couple of places, New Zealand being the poster child right now. Most of the others are not lockdowns, they're arbitrary restrictions on normal day to day life. For example, changing a business' hours makes no fucking sense.
The real question you have to ask is, is a proper lockdown worth the economic and other societal damage for this particular virus? If this thing infected you, waited 6 months, then had a 50% death rate across all age groups, I think this is a very different conversation.
But it's not. Most people don't even get sick. It kills a very small fraction and even then mostly people who frankly were on the way out anyways.
