Have you forgotten the state of Italy and New York (among others) at the start and middle of 2020? There were literal trucks full of dead bodies in the streets because they couldn't be buried fast enough.
How do you envision the time between march 2020 and the point where herd immunity through vaccines / infection would have been sufficient would have gone without a lockdown?
I'll take a lack of a few non-essential luxury goods for a year or two over a world where everywhere looked like that, any day of the week.

That turned out to be a perfect spreading ground for a respiratory virus. If I understand correctly, that's a big part of why New York got hit so hard. You can't just pin it on Cuomo's criminal irresponsibility.
