And that the number of cases of people with repeat infections and long covid is considered in assessing whether these lockdowns and restrictions should have been lifted and the disease allowed to spread freely.

You would need to counter-balance this with the likely models of death and long covid if lockdowns _hadn’t_ occurred as well.

You cannot look at the actual stats without taking those mitigating factors into account.

You aren't going to shelter in place a highly contagious airborne virus. Life is not risk free and it's beyond obvious that lockdowns did FAR more harm than good.
