I thought the lockdowns were an over reaction and something that could only happen in China.

Couldn't have been more wrong on both counts.

I didn't read anything about it not being able to spread, all I can remember is the mad masks they were making because masks had ran out straight away.
For me, this virus is much like HIV / AIDS to a degree. You don't die from it, but from the weakened immune system that occurs. That's why elderly, those with underlying symptoms are very much being hit by this.

I also personally think that WHO, governments were caught on the hop by this - having been told no person to person infection was possible, WHO advice back in Jan is very much different to that now.

I do love people thinking a Burberry scarf will prevent it...

China should not escape any consequences for their mishandling on this. Sadly they will - should be made a pariah economically and trade wise.
