Are Infection Rates Decreasing In States That Ended Lockdowns?

Seemingly.

And:

...the pandemic and COVID-19 likely have its own dynamics unrelated to often inconsistent lockdown measures that were being implemented.

Does this count toward the hypothesis that conservatives have better judgment about this sort of thing? Or is this just luck? 

I incline toward the latter hypothesis. But that explanation starts wearing thin pretty quickly.

Also: I trust J. P. Morgan in this matter because they just want to make money. In an era of pervasive politicization (on one side, anyway...), that's a motive you can rely on.
