"The graphs that show Australia's achievement in stopping second-wave Covid outbreak
...The Australian state of Victoria has achieved a remarkable reduction in Covid-19 case numbers after a lengthy period of restrictions.
To put this achievement in context – Australia has done what very few countries have achieved in effectively suppressing a second-wave outbreak from a high point of more than 700 new cases a day. Victoria has now recorded only two cases in three days and lockdown restrictions are being eased.
Here’s a visual comparison of Australia’s epidemic curve compared with a number of other countries, scaled to make comparing the shape of curves easier:
" Singapore has also managed to achieve a similar reduction in numbers, while South Korea has brought numbers from the mid-300s down to less than 100 new cases a day. Japan has roughly halved daily cases from the peak of its second wave, and Vietnam has also suppressed a second wave but from a much lower peak due to its earlier, effective control of the virus.

And when they lift restrictions people being infected with Covid 19 will rise.
Lock downs do not accomplish anything. You can't hide or outrun a virus. Only delay people getting it by locking them down.
Can see you have not done much research on viruses and how they function.
Tell me how long should a lock down be for? What is an acceptable amount of time?

Without lockdowns infections rise even more than without them, hospitals may be overwhelmed, more people have C-19 health problems & more die.
See above.
They serve to flatten the curve.
After a New Zealand lockdown they had reduced known infections to zero, went over 100 days without a known infection & returned to life as normal, including sports stadiums full of people without masks (while the USA had empty sports stadiums & arenas).
Lockdowns are much like quarantines. Quarantine an infected person for long enough & the virus is destroyed. OTOH let him free into a large gathering full of covidiots & he may infect & kill many as a super spreader.
I can see you are quite ignorant & demonstrate little knowledge about viruses.
That is debatable & depends on the circumstances.
There are many different types of lockdowns.
We haven't yet seen a full C-19 lockdown.
Obviously lockdowns were never intended to last forever.
