My point is, if every (or almost every) actor does the same thing, and someone argues that's bad/damaging/not the best course of action, the only explanations are either: * All actors are anti-rational (not just irrational, which leads sometimes to seemingly rational actions). * There's something else pressuring them into taking an anti-rational decision. I'd be surprised if it's the first, so I ask about the second. Unless the commenter means that killing your own citizens is in self-interest of the state, then leaving COVID run rampant would have been better option anyway.
