That must be why all the pandemic planning guides from various national health agencies specifically said do not do lockdowns, do no close schools and don't force masks...

It was never a "known tool" to anybody. It was an insane, unproven pharmaceutical intervention that somehow, suddenly, became something "we always knew about".

What we did for covid was absolutely insane.

Could you provide a citation? I’ve read the opposite from NIH, CDC, NHS, etc.

For example, this is from 2013: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3559034/
