Do not blame the govts. It is NOT them that is to be blamed. There is NO University on Earth that teaches govt officials to become Leaders. They relied on SOMEONE else to make policies, based upon so call scientific theories.
Sadly, those SOMEONE ELSE came form reputable SCIENTIFIC agencies, whom have NO clue as to governance & uplifting lives. They are NOT genuises, but only professionals in their expertise & OUT OF TOUCH with realities ON THE GROUND where Human lives are involved, more so when their living & careers are dependent from FUNDS by private & governmental agencies.
Remember their theories? Hammer & dance theory, match stick theories where all are isolated which resulted in even not PPE manufactured for the medical professions. etc, while billions suffered, economies destroyed & many lost their minds, while many MORE TRUE professionals Worldwide had long advised against lockdowns & went into hardwork COLLABORATIVELY WORLDWIDE thru the internet to share info & find ways & means to minimize the effects of the virus & beyond politics to save Humanity?
Who and where are the so called 'scientific professionals' that World leaders looked upon to declare brutal lockdowns, now, with their crappies excuses & YET living life fully untouched or ACCOUNTABLE while billions had suffered?
