^ I think the problem, mostly, is that there is actually no solution to this. It comes, it hurts, it goes away after a couple of years, exactly like it happened along the course of history. (Or maybe, differently from the past, we make it go away). But... what other options will you have?
You can't really double the ICU in a couple of months, because it's too expensive or you don't have enough people to make the equipment operational. You can't make those things appear out of nowhere.
You can't also really trace too many people, because of a similar kind of logistic problems and lack of equipment or laboratories or technicians, or even call centers.
So most of the Governments tried to implement a mix that was thought to be enough not to have to close a second time. Unfortunately, it wasn't.
The only way to stop the spreading goes back to the lockdown, with all the huge costs it involves, both on a personal level AND on an economical perspective. Our world (our socio/economic system) is not designed to manage unexpected pandemics.
Clearly, many people that on the first wave suffered but had some emergency reserves, now don't, and they get angry.
But... apart from manifesting a difficulty which many times it's even too real, what would you do?
I've seen it in Italy: people protest, riot, scream; many of them are perfectly righy. But then... their activities are fundamentally incompatible with the curbing of a contagion curve which is, again, exponential.
It is not a position where there is right or wrong, it is a tragedy happening before our eyes, or even on our own skins. But what possibilities could have been implemented (without being an over-controlling, opaque dictatorship boasting good numbers everywhere)?
