Its more than the fact that Covid-19 does not have a vaccine nor an approved treatment in comparison to the flu having a vaccine and approved treatment.
New diseases without vaccine do in fact scare people and their government.
There's other issues involved that the other Pandemics in prior history did not have. For example, they didn't have a global connection in comparison to today that allow infections to literally travel very easily from one country to another country in less than 24 hours.
Just as importantly or more importantly, its less detected or less contact tracing in today's global economies.
Another issue out of many, Covid-19 is new...they're still learning about how it impacts our bodies in comparison to the flu and prior Pandemics.
Another issue...there's that mutation factor involving these types of bacteria / virus. These diseases are resilient and can change very quickly. Thus, one day they are attacking a particular weakness in the population and not something else. The next day, week, month or year...its attacking a different type in the population that had prior seem less effected by the disease.
The government created a lot of ignorance and fear among its population long before Covid-19 and it started the day President Trump took office. Today, you have more trigger happy people, people willing to protest, other countries willing to turn their back on you and a booming economy that many felt was invincible or can recover quickly...
Perfect storm for Covid-19 and a lockdown.
The above are just few reasons out of others that I don't have time to mention about why the U.S. lockdown and why other countries will prevent U.S. people from entering their countries. Those countries are starting to get things under control, quickly putting out outbreaks, less ignorant, leaders wearing masks / social distancing...
U.S. is very lucky its only a lockdown that people are bitching about because history has shown governments to be overthrown by its people / military for less crap.
P.S. Don't hold your breath in waiting for a vaccine. Best route right now is to find an approved treatment so that people can just go to their local pharmacy and get some syrup like medicine, go home and get some bed rest before returning back to work.
