The problem is that to keep it simple you have to omit information and sometimes lie to get the needed outcome and sometime not correct incorrect but not harmful advice to keep it simple.
But I do think they screwed up with the early mask advice. With masks, they are not effective protection if it's just you wearing the mask - but there is some value when everyone does. They should have mandated wearing masks from the start like in Taiwan, Singapore, HK. Simple.
Now, we wear masks in most indoor commercial places, excluding dining areas. For the most part, all of last year was just life as usual. There have been large outdoor events, including a marathon in December with 28000 participants.
Been life as usual more or for six months, but that's the advantage of getting it under control early so the contact tracing isn't overwhelmed each time there's an outbreak.
