By confusion I meant "for w/e reason people were told contradictory things and left confused". I agree that the reasons were usually something like inability to treat people as people.
I don't think it was possible to succeed without ~all of Europe succeeding. Trying without succeeding costs a lot (in any terms) and buys little (basically shifts the timeline forward without changing how it progresses much, unless there's something else that doesn't shift). Hm~ ok, so buying delay in winter '20/'21 would have actually possibly been cost-effective due to vaccines, fair point.
