Stats Hold a Surprise: Lockdowns May Have Had Little Effect on COVID-19 Spread | National Review
If lockdowns really altered the course of this pandemic, then case counts should have clearly dropped whenever they took place.

To judge from the evidence, the answer is clear: Mandated lockdowns had little effect on the spread of the coronavirus. The charts below show the daily case curves for the United States as a whole and for thirteen U.S. states. As in almost every country, we consistently see a steep climb as the virus spreads, followed by a transition (marked by the gray circles) to a flatter curve. At some point, the curves always slope downward, though this wasn’t obvious for all states until the summer.
While I would prefer a little more analysis, this has been showing "in bulk" in the data.
Arizona never really locked down and had no issues until they opened the bars. That seems to have been the big issue.
People I know who worked in bars said nobody followed social distancing rule. Nobody....bad move on their part.
