Influenza has a much shorter incubation period, doesn't live for days on surfaces, and even in the case of the 2009 pandemic.... a much lower death rate. People think they understand the flu, even if it is a more deadly strain. This is new and different which can be frightening. The economy at that time was already at the bottom due to the 2008 crash. But most importantly, there was competent leadership running the response.
