Like the way the main thesis sentence slips past the key issue:
At what point should we draw a line in the sand and say that the economic and human impact that these partial or complete lockdowns are having is worse than the disease itself?
That should read:

Actually, this is something I wandered about; how did all the people locked inside their multistory apartment building survive? The western governments and media has been attacking China every way they can, and there have been many people in the lockdown in China communicating with relative in the west, yet nobody has said they are starving. I imagine the government made sure that all these people got enough to eat.
What we have learned from China, Singapore, NZ and Australia on one hand, and countries like the USA and UK on the other, is that the sooner you lockdown, sooner will the infection be brought under control. Bit like if you chain a vicious dog; it is still going to attack somebody if they get too close. Bringing it under control, does not mean we can go back to normal. There never going to be what we consider normal, well, never might be bit too pessimistic, but certainly nothing will be the same in foreseeable future. The alternative is bodies in the streets and mass graves.
