Mass gatherings weren& #39;t a problem. Then they were

School closures weren& #39;t needed. They they were

WHO rec PPE wasn& #39;t neccesary - then it was

Community testing wasn& #39;t needed. Now it is (but isn& #39;t happening)

Mask wearing wasn& #39;t necessary. Now it is, but we haven& #39;t got enough
