the intent of the lockdown measures was to reduce peak need to just below hospital capacity and no more. Reducing it further only increases the duration of lockdown and all its deleterious effects on public health. We did not come anywhere close to healthcare capacity, and what now? We just stay locked down forever?

Your argument for lockdown is unfalsifiable. Any good outcome is attributable to lockdown, and any bad outcome is because we did not lockdown soon enough. What piece of evidence could you possibly see that would convince you you were wrong?
