Actually I think it didnt work. At least not as well as they hoped. Remember when this first came out last year, they were predicting 2 million deaths by august. Well that never turned out but it did throw off their plans pretty good. How could you lock down the whole country for a 99.8% survival rate, but they did it anyway and tried to bull through it. I think the original plan was for this to be much deadlier then we got. Bill Gates even mentioned he was disappointed with how many Americans were resisting lock downs and then promised the next one would be much worse.
