I am not sure you can make this argument. When the agreement was signed, it still seemed likely that most governments would take strong corrective action against rising case numbers.
As we have seen, due largely to incompetence and political cowardice, they have not been willing or able to take these strong corrective actions outside of a few notable cases. As such the pandemic has dramatically worsened over the last couple of months. Alberta, for example, has seen over 1/4 of it's total deaths due to the virus in just the last 2 weeks.
So no, I don't think they anticipated THIS level of uncertainty and problems still incumbent in 2021.
