Re-reading your comment, I think probably the main issue I have with it probably just comes down to us thinking of different people when we see the word "conservative".
I agree that people exist who fit exactly what you described. I just think that's a much smaller slice of the population than (I assumed) you believe.

Welcome to a pandemic. Americans today aren't used to being vulnerable. If anything, it's just a reminder of how thin the facade we project on the world actually is.

No, the problem is that America has an incompetent government. China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have shown how to handle this thing with reasonable degrees of competence. We have not. Plagues and diseases have been around since long before humans. Dealing with them is one of the functions of civilized society, and ours is failing, while other nations are doing far better jobs. But of course, Americans never want to look outside their borders at how other countries do things.
