So did the WHO. They have been excoriated by millions for supposedly saying you shouldn't wear a mask. But from the beginning they were advising that you keep your distance from others, cough into your sleeve, and wear a mask if you get sick (otherwise, save them for health care workers).

Lockdowns were invented by panicking authoritarian politicians. The ruling class showed its true nature and was all too eager to copy China's brutal boot-on-throat approach to crisis management.

The idea that politicians wanted to lockdown and trash the economy is laughable. Even now politicians are eager to open up, even though plenty of states are still in the exponential growth stage.

Considering how Google and Apple are basically mandating WFH for the rest of this year, these lockdowns aren't for them; they're for all the other people who need a way to take care of themselves without giving their bosses the finger.
