The take away you quoted and that many of us have said for some time - and also backed by some very talented scientist, doctors, and statisticians - is "the virus is gonna do what it's gonna do".
This is true for lockdowns and wearing masks. These measures will "flatten the curve" but not stop the virus from running its course.
My VERY lay mans 2 cents worth.

Masks and lockdowns don't seem to work much at all. Look at New York, locked down March 14 recommended masks 2 weeks later. Result, 2nd highest deaths per million in the world.
The Phillipines has been locked down tight for 4 months and is the most mask compliant country in the world.
Result? Virus does it's thing anyway
