I see no evidence of that, only spin, as yet the government may well have plotted the minimum death way through.
I do see the presumed right of some experts to broadcast only they knew the truth and the government ignored them, which it has to do because they all disagree.
For one thing there is no one size fits all. Comparing societies does not help.
Why is India and Pakistan not awash? The density of population, dirtiness, generational mix living together, lack of social distance implies they would be awash, they are not.
The possible answer I hear from informed sources is that CV is not the killer. It is what is called cytokine storm, which is the bodies own immune response attacking itself. So the difference between cleaner western societies and dirtier southern and eastern, is that the body is far more exposed to inflammatory sources in some societies , and so does not overreact. Which is also why I understand western societies suffer more allergic conditions. It is not specific immunity some societies have, but defence against the worst body reactions to it, because of continued exposure.
If that is true all societies are unique. So attacking the government on the basis of what others do or have done is an irrelevance.
I still see no evidence of bad decisions. They left the braking till later, and hit it hard when they did. It’s how racing cars win in minimum time. Nobody will ever know if they could have done better.
