Do lockdowns work? Countries with less mobility from 5 activities such as work, public transport over last 4 months seem to have highest death rates. (Red equals at least 3 time world average death rate). Grey is above average but below 3 times. Green is below average. discuss..

Countries responded differently but mobility data from the norm gives actual activity data via cell phone movements. Over than Sweden the top ten death rates all had less people at work, less in shops, less entertainment & travelled less on public transport.

Peru which locked down early and now has the longest lockdown is in the top 10 death rates of countries with more than a million people! So did Chile and Spain. The virus does not care seemingly.

The world is certainly scared but the virus spreads regardless of if we stay at home do not visit friends etc. We may slow it slightly but it clearly loves the indoors.

one other thing is all countries used have tested at least 4000 people per million so inside the top 110 countries for testing. Countries not testing or testing less not used.
