The 5km thing is real while the lockdown is in effect. Keep in mind it’s different to America, you get paid decent money from the state to stay at home.
Whether or not the ~20 000 lives saved from these lockdowns comes down to opinion in the end.

I wish this meme would die. People in the US got paid decent money too.
The federal gov spent $3 trillion more on transfer payments in Q1 2021 than it did in Q4 2019. This is more than a doubling. That's nearly $17,000 for every human in the US.
But stimulus checks alone (ie free money for everyone under the income threshold of $75k) were over $3000 per person.
Additional unemployment was hundreds of dollars _per week_, on top of the standing unemployment benefits.
