Again in my non-medical opinion... it's because transmission "randomly" in the community is actually not the main way the virus spreads... it spreads amongst households and in areas of sustained contact like workplaces and of course care homes. Lockdown has definitely HAD an effect and has done the job of keeping the NHS from being swamped, certainly, things like fewer people on public transport will definitely have made a difference, but I personally doubt that things like supermarket one-ways systems and 2m distancing in shops will have made a huge difference overall. Again of course, I'm not going to second guess the advice to the extent of "not doing it"... I'll still go along with it... but I don't think it's been the magic bullet.
