All countries that did well during the pandemic did a few steps:

- immediately recognize the risk and call on domestic producers to increase mask production

- freely, easily and regularly distribute masks to everyone, either for free or subsidize

- rigorous regulation (not necessarily lockdown) of mask usage in places with either centralized(china) or decentralized(taiwan) contract tracing in every building.

- a leadership that publicized and communicated the risks regularly

- a leadership that led by example by wearing masks themselves

- and a population that had some sort of sense of unity(common enemy)

ALL countries that downplayed the pandemic ended up with second or third waves. I don't understand why you think it's bad luck.
