"All a lockdown does is defer the problem, it doesn't make the problem go away".
Lockdown can have a benefit if it stops society being overwhelmed (+ gives time to implement other strategies) i.e a *short, sharp* measure; but the longer it goes on the worse the -ve effects.

If you take out whether the lockdown was appropriate for this particular virus, and look ONLY at the dynamics of a lockdown; an EMERGENCY life-saving measure is verrrry appropriate but will itself harm the agent if used too long.
View it with regard to anaerobic/lactic energy production - this is an evolutionary life saver, but eventually harms the body (PH imbalance) so must stop.
Life-saving methods are just that - they are appropriate acutely, not chronically.

I am pro-lockdown but wary of it's incorrect use.
During the London riots many shops closed early and windows were boarded up, no one complained about that because it was a necessary precaution.
