Whilst I don't think the pandemic was handled at all well, it does need to be remembered (and it seemingly isn't taken into account) that all of this enquiry is done with hindsight, which is difficult to account for.
I think if you look around the globe you'll be hard pressed to find any country that "got it right". I think a few countries got lucky, due to geography or being authoritarian states or very sparsely populated, but it was very much a guessing game to begin with.
