A "stay at home order" is considered a lockdown, per wikipedia. If you disagree, take it up with the editors there. You will find them far more receptive than me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_and_local_government_responses_to_the_COVID-19_pandemic#Initial_pandemic_responses,_including_full_lockdowns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_and_local_governmen...

Right but not everywhere did that. I was in Georgia and schools did close for 2 months, but other than that there was no type of lockdown or anything. I think for 2 weeks you couldn't get a hair cut and some restaurants were to go only. Then everything was incredibly busy and everyone had extra money. I went on vacation to Florida 3 or 4 times in the summer of 2020 and it was far busier than I had ever seen it.

  I live in a "locked down" state - two million people, an area 3x larger than Texas. We locked down by checkpointing the two land roads in|out of the state and requiring anybody coming in by road | air | ship to quarentine under observation before freely moving about the state. Truckers dropped or picked up trailer loads w/out contact. Otherwise people largely moved about freely within the state aside from a few (very few) localised incidents of COVID transfer outside of buffer zones, in each case small areas were asked to restrict movement and mask up until no more cases appeared. That was kept up until vaccines became available and vaccination exceeded 90%. As a state with a strong sense of self goverance by people at large this wasn't a draconion top down unwanted imposition, it was very much an overwhelmingly popular broadly supported measure with very proportionally few dissenters.

  Who said everywhere did? The link is a table showing which states did which measures. It's meant for the people who try to suggest lockdowns never really happened because they didn't happen "everywhere."

  You asked where, I showed you where. You're the only one talking about Wyoming here.

    we seem to be talking past each other. I think you took my neutral question, "which policy interventions?", to be a statement of denial that there were any lockdowns or other policy interventions anywhere. I tried to clarify this in my follow-up but you seem to have read that one differently as well. This conversation really went off the rails so I'll leave it at that.
