As a Bangladeshi now living outside of the country, I am not sure what to make of it. We didn't have any proper lockdown AFAIK. In a country with huge amount of poor populace, it's almost impossible to do mandate people to stay in home when they don't have means to live. Thus COVID is very widespread, although not reported because of lack of testing. Even with all that, COVID didn't cause much harm to the population. Albeit, all of it is ancedotal.
