Nope.
Infections and deaths continued to increase for at least 4 weeks in brutal lockdown states like NY/NJ after lockdowns were instituted.
Meanwhile, Georgia ended their lockdowns over three weeks ago and hospitalizations, deaths and new infections have all dropped sharply, in direct contradiction with what Fauci and the media were predicting.
Florida has also experienced reduced numbers of deaths after lockdowns ended.
Again, Cuomo himself admitted just last week that 66% of all new infections are from people on lockdowns.
Lockdowns haven't worked anywhere on the planet. They have only brought economic ruin to hundreds of millions if not billions of people worldwide.

Now you’re comparing warm southern states with early easings with still-chilly northern states with late easings. Its now a proven fact that warmth limits CV-19 and sunlight kills it quickly. The southern states who opened early knew this before they opened early. New York is our most populated city. Its two biggest problems have been that everyone takes public transit, and nobody gets any sunshine even during their short summers because the tall buildings block it.
