The one thing that you can say did kill a lot of people was the sending of infected people back from hospitals to care homes.
Another thing you can say is that there would of been significantly higher deaths had lockdown not been implemented as one of if not the primary reason was to stop the NHS crashing, from being overloaded and being unable to provide care.
