There's truth in this, but you need to ask, why did local officials screw up? And it's probably related to the way mistakes are treated by central government. So, even if central government was not responsible for the individual actions early in the pandemic, they set the framework for how they interact with local governments, and thus still bear responsibility.

Bavaria had beer festivals in February and March, Austria kept Ischgl open and infected most of Europe. Other regions let the German carnival running. Leipzig had Champions League match. All in Feb and March. Just from top of my head. At least local Chinese authorities still had the benefit of doubt. And did we already forget how fast they built hospitals and how many people the tested?
- darkerside 6y agoYup, all screw ups. In my opinion, the scientific community should be held to a higher standard on this, but sure, you can judge them alongside the local beer festival I guess.
- hef19898 6y agoPolitical screw ups. Scientist have been against all this from the beginning.
