Thank you for this.
Something that confuses me is, why would governments minimize the risk and not take necessary steps to slow the virus?

Taking measures needs courage. You have to take very disruptive steps in the environment where popular opinion still calls it not worse than flu and before that you have to be smarter than popular opinion.
