If they didn’t do lockdowns, how could they have suffered the same adverse effects?



Because the adverse effects came from the pandemic, and lockdowns were merely a mitigating tactic with similar adverse effects.

When people are sick, they'll stay home, not work and isolate, lockdown or no lockdown.


So they didn’t suffer the same adverse effects.


They did. Economic downturn, massive amounts of people being stuck at home ( either in isolation due to being sick or old/immunocompromised/etc. afraid of going out).
