Do you remember January 1st 2020?
And you thought this year had to be better than 2019 ...

Speak for yourself. I'm not going with you.

More to the point - it's an express ride to your realm of existence.

Yes, we were all making fun at how poorly China was handling that little flu epidemic in Huwai.

In a way, on the off chance that their reported data is correct, their lesser damage cannot be compared to anywhere else. They used the army to make people stat at home. By force when necessary. Locked down and isolated the entire city.
Basically, on the plus side, they recognized it seriousness and didn't downplay it as it was clearly an emerging pandemic.

They also arrested (and possibly killed) people who talked about it on social media.

Whoever keeps saying; "could it get any worse", stop it!

The unveiled implication that it could get incredibly worse has, unfortunately, be said aloud, implicitly put into motion.

A voice came to me and said: "cheer up, things could be worse".
So, I cheered up. Sure enough, things got worse.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Since you asked...
- Masks and "social distancing" should have been the order of the day from the day the virus' lethality was known. Even if masks are not fully effective in preventing inhalation of individual virus particles, they certainly prevent large drops (that may contain virus particles) from escaping. Keeping away from potentially infected people is only good sense.
- As soon as the death toll among older people became apparent, all old age homes should have been isolated. Using them for COVID-19 patients, as was done in New York, was criminally irresponsible.
- Old people who are not in old-age homes should have been advised to quarantine themselves.
These three simple, common-sensical recommendations could have saved many of the most vulnerable group - the elderly.
- COVID-19 is a coronavirus, like the flu virus, but probably more deadly. As soon as this was established, populations vulnerable to the flu virus (the elderly, people with underlying conditions) should have been advised to self-quarantine.
Some of the above was done, but usually too late.

It's been an excellent year for agoraphobes, surgical mask manufacturers, internet infrastructure suppliers (increasing home bandwidth), and computer manufacturers (selling to those that didn't have a computer for every person in the house). For the rest of us...
