#1 Is there any evidence the social distancing actually worked rather than the virus ran out of people to harm?

#2 Yes, the countries like Italy & UK - and now Sweden - who didn't go into quarantine have/will have a lot of mortality*. Countries like Israel, and East Europeans - who imitated Israel, that imposed quarantine early ...

*And their uber alles economies** will suffer damage 10 times that of the more careful lands.
**Think of it as group evolution in action.

#3 We've been told/sold that the purpose of lockdowns was to slow the spread so as to not overload the healthcare system.

If it burns out in the summer, like other viruses, the governments and media can pat themselves on the back.

If it is as deadly as originally said, it'll come back as soon as the restrictions are lifted, until everybody gets it. Or herd immunity takes hold, currently estimated to be 29-74% of the population.
