This is the last post I will make on this matter as we're simply going round in circles.
a) "The Science" did not support an earlier Lockdown. This is a FACT. Revisionism of the FACTS now does not changed what they were at that point.
b) Lockdown could have been restricted to those most at risk. The spread of the virus may have been greater, but amongst those less likely to suffer acute problems.
c) Given that community spread & asymptomatic spread appear to be so limited there's no case for keeping schools closed.
