Then why am I told to "trust the science" for every lock-down measure put in place?

You're being pedantic. I was just using a metaphor to explain we have a lot more data for one thing and it's pretty clear what path needs to be taken in a fire. Yeah it's not 100% but it's much further along than COVID "science".

The problem with that metaphor was that real life firefighters don't work like that. And it breaks that metaphors.
