Keep in mind the lockdown is meant to slow spread so the healthcare system doesn't get overloaded, not to stop it.

It is successful in this respect, and IMO a healthy balance of economic slowdown and death toll. We'll probably start reopening (hopefully in stages, so we can monitor impact) in the next ~3 weeks.
