Action bias, perhaps? In cognitive science: "action bias is the tendency to think that value can only be realized through action. In other words, we feel compelled to do something in new or shaky circumstances rather than wait and make a more rationalized decision."
But if states begin to peak now, as data from places like Missouri is beginning to suggest, the CDC will end up looking like idiots again. Because folks on one camp will consider the recommendation to have arrived too late and the other will mock it as ineffective.
People are subject to the bias above but expect perfect foresight to come with it...
