There is NO EVIDENCE the lockdowns slowed the spread. We have compared countries and states with and without lockdowns - and it did not work. Hong Kong without lockdown and tons of density had 4 deaths. NYC with a lockdown had 20k.

if anything the half-assed lockdowns in NYC made the problem worse. Quarantine could in theory work if you could quickly identify sick people and lock them up entirely.

But forcing everyone to go to the grocery store instead of going out to eat - or making people stay indoor instead of killing the virus with UV light did dick to the virus but fucked up our economy.
