My take is obviously experts have been wrong about some things, but viewing this as a failure is a fundamental misunderstanding. If you want scientists to know everything important about a new virus you’ll need to wait years. That isn’t really an option here... https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1277234902606454784 …

The failure isn't just that we didn't know enough... Weirdly, for masks, there was active resistance and harmful messaging. We didn't know much about fomite risks either (seems not that much) but we had an effective and loud campaign about hand hygiene (no RCTs there either!).

The government didn’t even ramp up production of nasal swabs...
