How didn’t they work? Every time they have been implemented properly (Hubei, Italy, Spain. NYC, New Zealand) they reached the objective of reducing the infection levels to a few new cases per day. Obviously they cannot be a permanent solution, but they were never meant to be one.

Look at Spain right now. Infection rate is huge again, even with masks being mandatory in public. Lockdown is useless and destroyed their economy, and masks are mostly useless. That's the hard reality.
Luckily, this virus is not making us zombies, or killing our children. It's killing our elders and people with a weakened immune system; it's sad but it's great. It could have been a lot worse.
