It's a little unnerving that so much that's written (or drawn) against compulsory distancing ends up being indistinguishable from denying the effectiveness of distancing at suppressing transmission of the virus. https://t.co/SEWVAndoi2

That bothers me, too. Lockdowns, when done correctly, work. In the US, that was unlikely to ever happen and in fact did not.
The arguments against them are not that they are scientifically unsound, but rather that they cause enormous psychological and economic harm when done for more than a month or so. That should never happen.
