Lockdowns (and masks?) have shown that the spread of COVID and the 'flu can be slowed down. If governments can implement lockdowns and not cause too much harm to the population, I reckon we can beat these diseases.

Edit: add masks

Lockdowns by definition harm the population psychologically and economically. For merely slowing it down when it won't stop it from circulating or mutating, I don't see what the point would be by now unless we get a variant that is dramatically more dangerous than Delta and renders vaccines utterly useless which doesn't seem to be the case with this one (and even then it's a last recourse that isn't to be taken lightly).
