> we didn't follow through with the lockdown nationally to actually stomp the virus

This statement implies that there's a way to completely eradicate the virus, eg. if everyone in the world stays locked in their homes for 6 weeks, then the virus will be eradicated. That's not realistic, the level of coordination required to make that happen does not exist.

So eradicating the virus was never on the table, no matter how much we lock down.
