6,610,000 million / 325,000,000 is .02033

I also have not seen any hard evidence that shows lock downs help. I am not trying to argue, nor do I want to. I understand it's not popular, but it does not necessarily mean it's wrong.
The problem is that you could never truly establish a causal link, but correlative evidence does exist. We see cases drop when closures happen and rise when restrictions are lifted. Cases in my city skyrocketed with the university being back in session. Once the students were removed from the classrooms and things closed back down, we saw a decline in cases. The correlative evidence is there.
