Where is this 'vast amount of evidence' anyhow?

So far they've had to have ugly lockdowns in a few cities, but it's a tiny fraction of the overall population.

If it goes on for a long while - this will be a problem, but if they got away with it by having lockdowns - even late into the game - I wouldn't call it a failure.

That said, we really don't know what a lot of the numbers are.

Here in Canada some provinces did use lock-downs (even with curfews) and some didn't, and comparisons made between them show that lock-down was one of the least effective measures.

I am sure similar data exists for US states, EU countries, etc.
