I can confidently say that lockdowns although almost impossible to implement in India did flatten the curve. The surge in hospitalizations during second wave was the real killer. Lockdowns when done with some coordination were more about controlling the response and distributing the cases over more no of days. I always feel that in developed countries with 'space' lockdown should be much more effective but unless you are living off grid it is entirely possible that you will definitely get infected. A lack of lockdown or any attempts at controlling spread is also political suicide in many places.
