Doubtful. Europe locked down then surged after they reopened. The vaccine should help, but the notion that the rest of the world is doing better than the US is nonsense.
Melbourne, Australia observed a strict lockdown and now they have been virus free for a few weeks and been able to have a normal holiday season. So saying that lockdowns don't work simply isn't an accurate statement.
The situation in Europe and elsewhere, shows that these lockdowns are NOT partisan or political. They're universal. They're a universal kneejerk fear and cover-your-posterior policy. They are an intentional, willful trade-off of - liberties, economic vitality and personal dignity - for, ahem, saving lives.
I say this: even if billions were to die in the alternative, the lockdowns would STILL not be worth it.
But, the prevailing view around the world is otherwise. Even in functioning and robust democracies. Even in countries with vigorous constitutions and a historically deep sense of personal dignity. Worldwide, these are the choices that we being collectively made. This is the "humanity" that we've become. Enjoy.

It's a shame America isn't following what Lithuania is doing. I am sure their preventive measures will mean lives saved. Hopefully the next administration will take this deadly virus seriously and prohibit any sort of unnecessary travel without the proper documentation.
I hope your trolling. You you are at risk . Stay home. Ill keep my freedoms.
I was referring to a particular region of Australia which has opened locally. In any case, the Australians don't want to import COVID19 cases from outside of their country.
