I believe GP refers to the early lies about masks, so that people wouldn't buy them, so that there would be more available for health care workers.

I blame the person in charge at the time, who widely under-reported and downplayed everything the entire time they were in office.

All of the ills in policy and lack of transparency flowed down from that malignity of leadership.
