Speak for your country. Numerous countries did not blink an eye, and did not panic either.

I think people forget that it all started by "lets flatten the curve" before it turned into a pandemic of fear for absolutely no reason.

'Panic' can mean anything you personally want it to, so of course there will be countries that match your criteria.

Is wearing masks at the theatre panic? If you hate masks, yes! If you don't, no? Is requiring that foreign travelers have a negative test before admission at the border panic? Depends on where you stand. Is discouraging travel before vaccines were available panic? Well, that depends on whether or not you own a hotel! Is requiring that employers provide COVID sick days panic? Depends on your political view on labour relations. Eviction moratorium? Depends on whether you are a landlord!
