Restrictions absolutely do reduce the rate of spread. But that's not the debate at hand. It's accepted by all experts Covid is here to stay, like cold and flu viruses. With or without lock downs. The debate is whether we still need to "flatten the curve" to relieve hospital resources. Eradication of Covid is not the goal or even realistically possible.
