Yep and everyone KNEW this already in March. China did a hard lockdown because it worked. Same with South Korea, NZ, most of Italy, etc. America is really the only relevant country that can't do a full lockdown due to citizen unrest.

It's possible that China placed lockdowns because they could, and put out a bunch of outward-focused propaganda (spraying shit in the air from trucks, or by people in hazmat suits) in order to play up the deadliness of the virus. I wouldn't be surprised at all by that.
