Lockdowns had no effect?
-
Other than to make things worse, that is.
-
There’s a few assumptions implicit in that analysis. Namely that the virus should have affected all geographies equally and government guidelines were the primary mover of citizen behavior.
Also - looked at it another way, we’d expect places with the strictest lockdowns to be correlated with the highest case count (e.g. Texas didn’t lockdown until they were essentially forced to by the rising case counts)
-
Without the lockdown, the hospitals would have exploded with dead bodies, like a big water balloon overfilled with not water but rather COVID victims. It would be like sharknado only not with sharks but rather dead COVID victims spewing forth from hospitals, bursting at the seams, exploding like pressure cooker bombs filled not with screws and shrapnel but rather COVID victims.

I take it from the snark here that you believe hospitals would not have been overwhelmed at all were there no lockdowns?
