Any question of “what impact did a lockdown have” should start with clarifying what constitutes a lockdown.
From that definition, I think a lot of the conclusions people are drawing would be substantially less surprising.
If we’re going to call a polite suggestion to stay home and a potential for small fines which were never or rarely levied a “lockdown” then it’s not surprising it had little impact.
