Lockdown South American nations have had about the same COVID toll as non-lockdown nations.

Doesn't seem to be much of a link between lockdowns and COVID - but a heavy link between lockdown and economic and social devastation.
The virus will follow its own seasonal trends, impacted by herd immunity, as every respiratory virus has.
