But most importantly of all, consistent, easy to follow instructions for the public. No more politics, no more controversy. The media and authorities need to show a united front for people or we can't get their cooperation. Most of the lives we lost could have been saved.

Yes the politics of what is required to fully contain are the downfall for non authoritarian countries. Is the only government suitable for containing a novel/contagious virus an authoritarian government or do representative democracies still have hope?

They do have hope I think but they have to play it right. As I said for them the power of the media has to be properly harnessed. They need to persuade the people of the need for things and keep the message air tight. Right now media intentionally creates controversy.

How can the power of media be properly harnessed without turning into an authoritarian system?

Simple. For science based news that is not "opinion" based, a fine should be given for putting out unverified information. That way it would not effect other types of reporting and a fine for misleading the public would not violate their rights. That SHOULD encourage them

That's the best part. As long as you write the policy correctly it wouldn't matter. They have to show Scientific proof that the info was wrong. You can't go wrong with a scientific approach. Add that to a mandatory disclaimer for "news that's unverified and there you go!
