See my take-away from your first paragraph is quite different from your second paragraph.

The point isn’t to argue about who’s counter-factual is right or wrong, it’s impossible to say.

At this point everyone has taken a position as to whether the “mitigations” were ethical, legal, effective, or not. There’s no point discussing it anymore unless or until people in power try to re-impose them.
