There should be a review of actions taken during covid and review what worked/what didn't - and the cost/benefit of these actions.
A lot of people take 'their' side on an issue like closing schools and don't consider both sides. The pro-closing school people say it saved lives and it did - but how many lives. The anti-closing school people say it hurt kids and it did - but how much did it cost kids. Once you have at least a reasonable estimate for both sides - you can use that to decide how to react if this happens again. But you need to have both the costs and benefits identified to make that decision.
You'd also hope the government will permanently restrict our rights people if we allow mask mandates or close business people would reassess their priors so we don't have to have that argument again - but that's wishful thinking.
