It's mostly soldiers you don't know fighting half a world away, and not any sacrifice on the part of everyday americans. Whereas with quarantine, it impacts everyone, and the longer it goes on, the harder it is for people to deal with.

I would rather go swim through a school of reef sharks than go to a wallmart ,
