Takeaways:
1. The states that took away the most liberty with the hardest lockdowns did no better than the others, maybe a little worse.
2. The states that took away the most liberty were almost all headed by a Democrat governor.
Comment on chart: The information was released May 19 but is changing rapidly by state moves to restore liberty . The colour coding is just meant to highlight four corners of the graph: Green is low death and high liberty. Red is high death and high liberty. Blue is low liberty and low death. Gray is low liberty and high death. The observation about Democrat governors is taken from Breitbart's article here.
Update May 22. Europe is reporting the same, that lockdowns didn't mean lives saved. Bloomberg story.
