This is actually the diference between the early 1900's pandemic and now. In those pandemics you walk outside and you witness it first hand.
In this pandemic you watch unreliable sources through electronic media. I gurantee noone in the 1900's went into quarantine based upon an unverified newspaper article. Especially reading about it in say...Memphis Tn newspaper and it be an article about New York.....the people in Memphis would continue life as normal.
