I don't agree. What made COVID so devastating in both the UK and the US was the unwillingness or incapability of the citizenry to comply with health restrictions, coupled with faux-frugality that meant it was impossible for most people (read: not well educated and/or well-to-do) to follow the strict rules. Sorry, but both are features not bugs.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
