A pandemic and war have a lot in common. There's an information gap and an urgency of action needed, so people make the best decisions they can with the information they have at the time.
I didn't doubt history will show a lot of best-guesses based on available information were untrue. But I'd rather people take it seriously and follow the guidance of the folks who prepared for this kind of disaster than do what we did in the 1920s. Even with a knowledge gap and errors, it lengthened most people's lives to lock down, mask up, and get vaccinated.
