Everyone has the benefit of hindsight now. Having read a little bit about Anders Tegnell, I believe he is making decisions in good faith, and you can't ask for more than that. Trying to apply his expertise to the problem.
The majority of countries out there have made slip ups. Australia, which has fared better than most, had several "The Ruby Princess" and a hotel quarantine breach. They're still managing to tear each other apart politically even though the total deaths for Australia (pop 25 mil) is 909.
In some ways I think we've gotten off lightly with this pandemic. It could have been Ebola, or with similar survival rates.
We've actually proved as a global society that we can all pull in the right direction -- vaccines, etc. Has it been perfect? Not even close. Has it been worse for minorities and lower socioeconomic groups? Absolutely.
We can only hope, and plan that some of these things are a catalyst for changes that protect us next time, and make the world a better place in general.
