Poland has slightly slower deaths per capita then Sweden, so if that point is not valid I don't know if any other of your points are.

And although Sweden didn't do lockdowns, almost every corp sent their workers to WFH, and other people reduced their outgoings.

I have a friend in Sweden who has a shop and he complained that he has never seen so few people on streets and in his shop.

So Sweden had unofficial lockdowns.

1,300 deaths per million in Poland,

1,289 deaths per million in Sweden.

The point is that mandatory government lockdowns are unnecessary and destructive, the population will adjust their behavior themselves.
