"_Potential_ or actual" detriments is an excessively broad grouping; and 
I don't believe it's been shown that they have "clearly" outweighed the 
benefits. Data, please?

In any case, current evaluations of strategy are being made with the 
huge advantage of hindsight. Cast your mind back to images of tent 
structures in hospital parking lots, of patients lying in cots in 
hallways, of temporary morgues, of health care workers sickened or 
killed by the virus.

Pretending this was just the sniffles, as some right-wing Pollyannas are 
now doing, is way beyond unrealistic. It was a worldwide emergency, and 
the medical community was correct in trying hard to figure it out and 
prevent disaster.
