Which Country went to early lockdown and had hospitals overrun? Like, none at all, the countries with overrun hospitals were locking down when situations was already almost there.

Wuhan locked down before hospitals were overrun - there were only a handful of deaths by Jan 23. The lagging nature of cases, severe cases, and deaths means locking down needs to be well in advance of the spike to be completely effective.

Didn't they pretended nothing going on for a long time? Like the doctors were warning about issue and were persecuted while authorities basically pretended nothing is going on?

Yep.

This is why statisticians take more than "basic statistics".
