In September 2019, Johns Hopkins in partnership with WHO published a detailed report on "high-impact respiratory pathogens" that is prophetic. For example, they warned NPI policies could be abused by overreaching governments for political/social purposes, not because of evidence. 
They say widespread quarantine is likely the least effective NPI to do anything, especially if the pathogen is a) airborne, b) highly transmissible. Sound familiar? They mention how the Ebola experience highlights how difficult quarantine policies can be to maintain.
They urge that every NPI that is considered must also consider any potential harms that could come from the intervention - seeing that it's well-documented that lockdowns essentially do nothing, we are left with assessing the harms of them, which will be seen for decades to come.
They also say there is very little information on the effectiveness of masks in the public setting - yet public health leaders in 2020 were so confident in mannequin head droplet studies that they push them as one of the most important and effective interventions we have.
There are several other reports just like this one. Don't let political leaders say they "followed the science" when they locked down. They panicked. They've spent the past year doubling down on these policies to cover up their failure. No science supported these policies.
