Absolutely nothing wrong with a coordinated, rapid response to a global pandemic. This was a bright spot in humanity's record, IMO. The corruption of public perception of the response by a handful of individuals is something we should regret.

Quite a bit wrong with it. From the beginning the threat level was exaggerated, especially considering the lack of threat to younger people.

We are still paying the social and economic costs (including sky high cost of living, directly connected to it).

It was also coincidentally very similar to the Event 201 table top exercise a mere six months before between Johns Hopkins, the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organisation (all unelected and unaccountable organisations which this "global" advice came from).
