That wasn't public "support," it was compliance based on fear and ignorance of the situation. That changed very quickly to the where people were protesting in clashes with the police, who responded by beating people back into their homes and imposing curfews afterward. It became very quickly that gov't had no support once people figured out the situation and demanded an end to lockdowns.
