People talk about "lockdowns" but at least in the USA I never felt meaningfully "locked down."
Like, I could still walk or drive anywhere I wanted at any point (except I guess crossing the border to Canada or Mexico, lol). Bars and restaurants and non-food shops were closed but that was it.
Compare this to an actual lockdown at a school or prison (but I repeat myself) where the doors are locked and everyone is required to stay in their homerooms/cells.
It's just the wrong term.
