This would seem to predict that Western governments tried to promote, not discourage, panic early to hasten the point where lockdowns have public support. If too successful, they can always point to other countries failing. If China held free elections today, Xi would do okay.

I think decision inertia was due to – past is always known, certain, weighting in a lot more than uncertain unknown future – reluctance to change – changing knowledge increases uncertainty ̣– gov thinks citizens are dummy herd and cannot be expected to change behavior w/o protest
