Are lockdowns justified?

[Reforged]

I mean theres a way to figure out if coming out lockdown is a good idea, look at the countries that are not observing social distancing and their recorded infection rates.
Do you like what you see? The answers no, because what you see is India and oh my goodness if that isn't one of the most vertical slopes I have ever seen. They've barely tested a *fraction* of their population yet and we're already at 15% infected of what they have. Mortality rate? 2104 yesterday but you know that figures not accurate because most people dying don't even make it to a hospital. They're all packed.
Granted they have other problems but the correlation is pretty clear. Decrease in lockdown results in more patients and therein lies the delicate balance which determines whether you get lifted to the hospital in an ambulance or to a tent in a rented ice-cream van.
