Well, Izumi knows she did her job. It's very patently obvious Mei didn't do hers. The thing is, nobody ever tells her it didn't matter.

Mei more or less says the same thing Takako had told her earlier, it doesn't matter whose fault it is because it doesn't change that people have died. However, it comes across as being rather self-serving from Mei, since she's not trying to console anyone or stick up for one of their classmates, she's trying to shift blame off herself. In any case, it's not the correct response; it's not that it doesn't matter because it's in the past, it doesn't matter because the Calamity had started before Kouichi even started going to the school, and not once does anyone point this out in this scene.

Essentially, Izumi says "This is all your fault" and Mei replies with "Well...yeah, but don't blame me for it."
