i think the last two years shown that nothing acceptable from a human rights pov could have been done to stop the pandemic from spreading once it was out of the bag.
i'm not sure which example makes you think things could have been different.

R_t was under 1 in the US for extended periods of time, so your idea that the required measures can't be implemented there is empirically false.
It doesn't need to be perfect. Depending on the specific intervention in question, you only need to exceed some critical threshold of compliance to get R_t below 1.0.
