As far as Germany and South Korea are concerned, yes, they got off to a flying start. Only when this is over will we know how relevant that was. Remember, there are still a lot of people out there who have not yet been infected, and so the whole thing might yet start again out there.

The government have said they have made mistakes that have cost lives. So, you have to accept that people are going to criticise. Especially when their are glaringly obvious errors that have been made.
Look at the 'success' Greece & New Zealand have had in managing their instances of the pandemic.
Greece has just 146 deaths, New Zealand 20
Before you say, but ah they're spread out and different country etc. etc. yes, it does to a degree play a part. However the single biggest thing that they did was to lockdown fast and they did it hard.
The government has had the same evidence as other western countries, the issue is they made bad decisions at the outset.
