It's not "no science at all". Science understands how pandemics act in general quite well, and that informed the early responses. Where you see the lack of scientific backing in the early responses is things like the recommendations to wash hands very thoroughly and use hand sanitizer constantly—this was from when it was thought that COVID might have spread through surface contact, before we understood that it was airborne. (Of course, the other aspect that shows the lack of scientific backing, that is more about profit, is how even now, there's no real push to upgrade our institutional ventilation systems. That would've made a huge difference not just for COVID, but for many other pathogens, and even just pollution and allergens...but it would cost institutions with buildings worldwide a lot of money, so we can't have that...)
