I have a different understanding. Before there was evidence, the health depts were not pushing things. The article goes over that. As soon as they got evidence (that's what those pesky scientists like, darn them), then they started doing what this article says. One of the earliest public things I'm aware of this posting from a scientist in Seattle on Feb 29th, by researcher Trevor Bedford, part of the Seattle Flu Study about covid-19 tracing genetically. They were testing flu samples for covid-19 (the govt refused permission for them to do that but eventually they just did it, because it was so important). https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1233970271318503426 https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1233970271318503426

Sorry - this is the original letter that went out on Feb 26th - https://www.nsd.org/blog/~board/superintendent-blog/post/letter-to-families-bothell-high-school-closure https://www.nsd.org/blog/~board/superintendent-blog/post/let... 3rd paragraph is the grovelling the school district needed to do to deal with the interference of the King County Health Department. There is also the "red dawn" emails which clearly show that King County was not doing a single thing in the face of knowing it was a problem - Dr. Duchin (King County Health) on March 1st - not 4 days after this public rebuke of the school idstrict. "We are having a very serious challenge related to hospital exposures and impact on the healthcare system. Would be great to have a call to discuss. Will be meeting with your team here this morning and then maybe we can chat after that" So it goes from laughing to all hell breaking loose to doing nothing for almost 2 more weeks? That's the Health Department leading the way?
