Lockdowns work overall - of course they do. It just depends what your “overall” is. The overall aim of a lockdown is to get transmission low enough for hospitals and the economy to function. The overall aim is not to eliminate covid from the population, regardless of what anyone says (Nicola Sturgeon liked to suggest she had a zero covid strategy in the early days ... she has quietly dropped that now). For quite some time now it has been acknowledged that a vaccine is the only actual exit route from the disruption to our lives.
