It's a lose-lose situation for authorities and medical professionals.
If they take precautions and the thing passes with very low mortality rates, everyone whines about the cost and that it was a big overreaction.
If they don't take precautions and many people die, then everyone whines that not enough precautions were taken.
As transplant99 said, there's been enough epidemics in recent history that taking precautions makes sense.
