Not OP but no, neither of these. It was a moral necessity. If you know there's a killer virus on the loose, and that some of the practical countermeasures {W,X,Y,Z} are likely to prevent a bunch of deaths (but not exactly which), it would surely be negligent if you didn't recommend all of them until you knew more.
