"keeping the state closed helped the economy? "

It didn't hurt the economy. Would we have done better without restrictions? That's unknowable.

"If the govt had done nothing (treated like normal flu season etc) it would have been over by May 2020."

If the government had done nothing, the entire health care system would have collapsed. As for "it's just like the flu", flu kills an estimate 36,000 per year. Covid has killed over 1,000,000, and long flu isn't a thing.
