Not sure why you are being down voted, your observation is spot on.
It's pretty obvious that 'politicians' took into account potential costs of shutdowns. Shutdowns aren't very popular with anyone, and politicians tend to want to get re-elected.
The question really is, how, as a society, do we distribute the costs of the pandemic, and different societies have tried different trade-offs.
