In case you haven't yet seen it this video provides a very good analysis of the ineffectiveness of lockdown measures so far. It is evidence based and compelling. Please share.

A follow up that addresses criticisms of the first video is here:

I would be interested in any referenced criticism of this work. From my own digging I found this paper in the BMJ which calculates that lockdown reduced Covid transmission by just 13%:

It seems that the whole country has paid an enormous price for a relatively small reduction in Covid transmission.

A report here suggests that the roll off in infection rates may have already started 5 days before lockdown:
