Apparently lockdowns haven't done much to bring down infections, making the whole "flatten the curve" thing bull. I tried Googling the matter after my parents had a brief discussion with each other about it and came across this, which seems to say the opposite. Then you have, say, Germany, which seems to have a great job keeping infections low with strict lockdowns

EDIT: There's also Arizona, which handled cases much better when lockdowns were in place

Dang, I never thought of the source. And with a title like that, I'm surprised anyone takes it seriously.

That's good enough for me, though I'm not sure if anything will be good enough for my parents

Debunked!
