I think for a lot of people there, they know first hand accounts of the epidemics that occurred there after WW2. There was actually a fairly serious TB epidemic during the 1950s (made widows of my great aunts, and my father became a carrier but never had the disease). Everyone knew people would contracted it. After that, they were one of the leading countries trying to eradicate TB. I think that mindset just worked its way into other diseases as well.

Unfortunately, a lot of young people are so far removed from that reality that they don't understand how serious things can get.
