If you want to be cool then you say "fuck the government, fuck the police". Its a big part of the reason, a lot of people want to show off by breaking rules for street cred.
Your overthinking it, imagining that a large part of the population wants to be Jason Bourne. It doesn't matter if 1% will evade this (you and your friends).
But you show exactly the bigger problem: the West is so individualistic, that it will rather have millions of deaths and economic collapse than a bit of privacy infringement over a number of months, again, everybody viewing himself as some sort of secret agent that the government is out to get at all costs.
Asian countries on the other hand understand that some time you need to make some real sacrifices yourself for the greater good.
More importantly, the mortality, while much higher than flu, it's still relatively low.
Now imagine a virus as contagious as this one, but with 10% mortality over all age groups. That would be unprecedented and probably cause society meltdown.
How does one isolate a specific antibody from the blood? Presumably there are thousands (millions?) of different ones in there for all kinds of pathogens.
People also die now for example because of a heart attack that cant be treated due to overwhelmed hospitals. Not saying that is the case for the numbers, I dont know.
In London someone died of malaria last week because it took 9 hours for an ambulance to show up.
