I think the difference in the actions/reactions between this and flu is that flu (in all its variants) is a known disease, whilst we are still in the early days of finding out what COVID-19 does.

There would be outrage if COVID-19 suddenly started spreading faster, with more fatalities, because the authorities weren’t taking "appropriate measures" - they’re damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.
