A look at the question by a fact-checking website

I could go on but I'll stop.The question you have to ask is this, would there have been more deaths without lockdowns?

The answer is obviously yes. Without mitigation, the deaths would have been astronomical. How old the people are is irrelevant. A death is still death, whether, they're old or not. That doesn't diminish the seriousness of the disease, nor does it mean that those beneath 65 won't suffer long-term health implications from catching the virus.

You're more than welcome to write your own piece about why you believe lockdowns don't work.
