>Lockdown cause massive unemployment, bankruptcy, mental health issue, kids not getting proper education, delayed treatment/care for non-covid cause, etc.

a lockdown doesn't inherently cause this. These things are caused by a badly implemented lockdown, a lockdown that doesn't have measures in place to make sure people don't go bankrupt, measures to make sure people's mental health doesn't deteriorate etc.

Sure, I will totally support such implementation that neither restrict people movement nor have occupancy restriction, at least for this specific virus.

If let say covid has severity of anthrax or ebola then restricting people movement maybe justifiable but not otherwise.
