I'm not sure I agree. Yes we didn't know much about it (why not, it had been going on in China for almost three months)
But the original idea was 2 weeks to show the spread. It was too save the hospitals. But somehow that morphed into zero covid.
The reality is, a bunch of stuff was thrown at the wall, and the only thing that really worked was lockdowns, which won't work long term. But why didn't we do anything to figure out if any of the things were working
We should have immediately spent resources into determining how effective some of the strategies were, and called of the ones that didn't work. Instead many of those strategies are still in place. Like six feet, sanitizing everything, cloth masks.
Instead of putting money into research (other than the vaccine) a bunch of money was spent on things that didn't have much to do with covid.
