Looking back it blows my mind how poorly governments around the world reacted to the pandemic.

-The initial recommendations regarding masking (do it or don’t?) was muddled, confusing, poorly communicated.

-The information regarding stay at home and the duration of the long downs required to stop the spread was muddled and confusing

-During the 2020 protests the government seemed to be confused regarding communicating the importance of stay at home and minimizing contact

-The information about vaccines was not stated clearly. In particular communication regarding how effective vaccines were at stopping someone from getting the illness and spreading it was muddled

-Information about the origin of the virus was muddled. People were accused of racism (!!!) for saying it came from a Chinese lab rather than from a Chinese bat.

Anyway, astounding to see the errors now. One would thing our leaders would have been better prepared for a pandemic considering how much had been written about the Spanish Flu and so on.

Telegraph got the memo to help build an excuse for Trump's poor handling of the pandemic. Pitiful. I will never believe "free press" special pleading ever again.
