I mean, they're not wrong. If everyone was on a self-imposed house arrest for two months most airborne viruses would die out without new hosts. The problem with that of course is there would be a total collapse of the world economy, critical infrastructure that requires constant monitoring would suffer irreparable damage, and there would be mass starvation as there wouldn't have been anyone to restock stores, run packing plants, or harvest produce for two whole months.
And I think there would have still been enough infection to hang on to re-emerge as soon as everyone came out. I think the wisest plan, indicated by the data, would have been to virtually quarantine elderly and immune compromised, and have everyone else go about their lives, while fortifying their immune systems with vit C, D3, and zinc.
