> If people had worn masks, we would have better outcomes.

Citation needed. People do wear masks. And a lot of places where they don't are doing good compared to places wear they do.

> If we had locked down, it would have been over already. Full stop. How is this confusing?

It's not confusing but it's simply not true. I believed this in March and April, however. How long would we need to lock down in your fantasy land?

Australia has some of the harshest lockdowns and it's not over there "full stop". They still have cases popping up. And even if it worked, you can't just look at covid numbers as the only measure of success. You end up demostrating Goodhart's law. It's a huge mistake to not take all the other side effects into consideration. A couple big ones that come to mind are discouraging exercise and sunlight to generate vitamin D.
