Early on, the pooled information of the experts of the world was very limited.
Every single soul was bamboozled by this virus. Even people schooled in medicine admit to being surprised and not able to get information initially, simply because there was none.
Pandemics are not common and each has it's own symptoms and death tolls. People who counted dead bodies from this were unsure how to do it. People who treated people with Covid-19 had no background information on this different kind of pneumonia and blood vessels being clogged and seniors dying in higher numbers.
Fauci had a lot of background knowledge on all kinds of epidemics and lots of information on how viruses and bacteria affect people, but not any information on this one at the beginning. All medical people were floundering at the beginning. I think he did well, considering the political powers that had far less information being critical of his information.
All those involved did the best they could. Well most of them anyway. I am not a medical person. I am just an 81 year old observer of life and I have been gravely disappointed in people this last year by some, and had my faith renewed in mankind by others.
I am YOUR fan, DeWilson. I am also a fan of the OP, although we don't always see things exactly the same.
