The measures were probably excessive for a disease with a

One of the big problems preventing early measures from being
taken was believing a word that came from the ChiCom regime.
The WHO basically parroted whatever they said about no
human-to-human transmission, etc., until it became impossible
to ignore.  The rest of the world needs to recognize that
totalitarian despots lie.
