absolutely not, given the threat wasn't new at all, we faced a long list if far more dangerous pathogens in the last 2k years. nothing new at all about an airborne respiratory disease.
and if anything, abundance of caution would suggest Yoh don't do anything you don't know with absolute certainty what will achieve. the last time in life you do something unprecedented is when panicking, obviously.
you didn't clearly state before you would lockdown if a respiratory disease arrives? you simply dont.
you don't do that unless you are absolutely certain it is absolutely indispensable for society survival to do so.
and you absolutely never without exception touch children unless it's for their direct benefit. never.
