The author missed inter-family infection growth during a lockdown. If you have a family of 5 people and person 1 is infected, person 2 gets infected by 1 after one week, a week later person 2 infects 3, a week later person 3 infects 4, a week later person 4 infects 5. And only then does the infection cascade stop. This is also happening in hospitals, in nursing homes, in homeless shelters...all are also "families" for this purpose. If your "lockdown" was truly no contact between any two humans, the cascade would stop quicker. But that's not the case. Comparing the US to China is wrong, because the US isn't doing MOST of what China did to allow the lockdown to be lifted.
