If the numbers are to be believed many more lives were saved by those actions. Even more could have been if we had acted sooner. They preferred mass death of the elderly and middle-aged over personal sacrifice IMHO. I think that makes them weak willed and weak minded. Those are the ones that knew what was up. I can forgive the ones that were manipulated into believing that there was nothing we could do or that it was overblown. They don't question what they are told by their guys and are generally kinda just trying to live life.

Yeah, they are among the ones that chose profit over people. Government is supposed to regulate business for a reason and not the other way around. PURE capitalism without healthy government regulation is evil. Regulatory capture is basically the same thing with extra steps.
