I don't think anyone thinks lockdowns are cost-free; AFAIK that idea's mainly a strawman put about by the CRG headbangers and others of that ilk. I know vaccination and herd immunity (though confirmed UK cases are only about 6% of the population...) may make a difference, but in a month we went from a level of 75% of current daily cases to 70K+ cases a day (at which point you're looking at well north of 1,000 daily deaths); I'd rather follow the medical experts' caution on this than Mark Harper.
