But, yeah, it's not a good look if we go crazy with all of these lockdowns and then find that it's nowhere near as bad as expected.

The problem wasn't the initial effort. The problem was they were so clearly wrong so quickly and yet we didn't behave any differently.
We continued to act like the results of being wrong were just stats instead of people and kept ignoring those outcomes. Because "well this COULD still happen...all evidence to the contrary..."
You cannot work that way in the real world.
