America's Ten Biggest COVID Mistakes

Nobody blames people for honest, reasonable errors. And we didn't know what we were dealing with at first. But it seems pretty hard to justify what were pretty obvious errors even when they were made. I guess I'd be tempted to add: lockdowns generally and overuse of ventilators. Though the former might have been briefly justified--if we'd stuck to the two-week plan or thereabouts. And the latter is unclear--it may well fall into the category of rational error. Or maybe not an error at all. I suppose we don't really know yet.

   Unfortunately, primum non nocere seems to have been abandoned pretty early on.

   OTOH: hindsight, 20/20, etc. etc.
