No US state even came close to “locking down.” You had these ineffective stay-at-home orders, ignored mask mandates, unenforced travel restrictions, and unevenly enforced business closures. It was almost entirely voluntary, and therefore widely ignored.

Throughout the entire year, if I wanted to, I could easily drive out of my county, sit down at an indoor restaurant, and party indoors without a mask, and there would be absolutely zero police action to stop me. What kind of lockdown is that?
