Lockdowns were predicated on a fomite viral transmission mechanism, which was known to be erroneous from the start. They stopped the economically active from working and hence indirectly supporting the most vulnerable. The latter, confined to care homes, were effectively locked down already and in the end, they suffered the most perverse privations of all, cut off from all contact with their families. A despicable policy from start to finish and worthy of Nuremburg 2 all on their own.
