Not at all. You are making a fundamental, erroneous assumption: that the actions taken were made in good faith.
This is a political failure. Trump and his administration chose again and again to put politics above public health. Over and over, given a choice, he chose to pander to his base and attack his perceived enemies rather than helping the country. These weren't miscalculations. The miscalculations happened at the state and local levels, but at the federal level there was very much a knowing purpose.
