Sure Jan. We had some restaurants, movie theaters, etc closed. People were still going to stores, having house parties, you name it. Hardly a "lockdown". If we had a true lockdown this whole thing would have been over with in 2 weeks rather than stretch out for a year.
Yep, let's do this China style!
Let's weld those doors shut and get some armed agents forcing everyone in!
All because of a virus with 99% survival rate.
Yeahhhhh! That would fly outside of totalitarian countries! Hellll yeah!
I will wear one near close contact with folks. I don’t at grand’s football games etc. just in case I have it - being sure never hurt anyone. Golden rule and all that- yup
Great. If your TV told you to wear you underwear on the outside of your clothes to stop the virus you'd probably do that too!
Great. Wear a mask forever. Why not wrap yourself in saran wrap too? They'd love you in China.
Maybe they would, but I don’t particularly care what they think about me in China. Maybe masks are theater? I doubt it, but either way, it doesn’t add up to this grand awfulness that anti-mask folks claim. It’s barely sub-optimal, it’s just not a big deal.

Yep, part of the grand compromise of the various flavors of society. But that would be an actual lock down and it would have worked.
What we did? You can't get a hair cut but you can crowd up in a store including with those not wearing masks and actively shouting at and spitting on people? Not a recipe for success nor a lock down.
Was that because of masks or because of no mass gatherings? France had strict mask mandates with fines and covid still exploded in that country.
Both.
The medical advice is stacked mitigating factors. None are perfect.
