@RazorCut as the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. And we're still a long way from having any real hindsight on this virus. We're all trying to make the best decisions we can based on the information available at the time. As we learn something new, we adjust - at least that is what intelligent people do.
That's not hindsight though. That's common sense. The UK and USA were not pioneers. There was plenty of prior evidence around to have made pivotal decisions well beforehand. The problem is pretty much everyone in power was more concerned with the short term economic consequences.
After these major disasters there is always an inquiry to see how things could have better been handled. We learn from them but rarely do follow through years later when complacency causes us to fall back into the old ways and stand with our hands in our pockets for way too long.
