The lockdowns were sold on “flatten the curve” — which they have done, dramatically so, if we take ex ante predictions as accurate. They were not supposed to be the new normal.

True, my mistake. In my defence, there is a lot of "reasons" for the lockdowns floating around in the global conversation.

This particular error on my part I regarding the reasons for the lockdown I attribute to Tomas Pueyo and his hammer-and-dance amateur epidemiology blog.
