These are difficult decisions with lots of huge tradeoffs.
For example, and putting my 20/20 hindsight lenses on, how would it have worked had the government "ordered" a national lockdown in late February? Probably would have caused a revolt.
The health director for NYC, for example, was urging people to get out and about.
In a democracy, you can't make a big decision typically until most of the people see the reason for it.
