The missing variable in this is what happens when you lift lockdown in the absence of a treatment or vaccine. Comparisons with eg Sweden at this point have always seemed strange to me because the whole point of a herd immunity approach is t

It's not even correlational. They didn't even have a group of non-COVID patients to compare to, which would have been really easy. They could have looked at non-COVID ICU patients as well and did not. That would have at least been
