Looking at the stats now, it seems like it's doing better than a number of European countries, many of which had lockdowns (France, Belgium, Italy, etc.). Then you have countries like Japan, which people have been complaining about being lax for a year but still has lower rates than almost all Western countries. That's not to say lockdowns aren't effective, but the data doesn't seem to fit any neat narrative at the moment.
