Lockdowns extend pandemics, assuming they work. That is their literal purpose, to drag out infections over a longer time scale to reduce hospital load

Thatโs exactly what lockdowns do and is their whole point. Itโll make a lot of people angry, but itโs in fact tautological.
Lockdowns cannot end a pandemic like Covid. Simply cannot. That was wishful thinking by those more hopeful than knowledgeable.
