And try not to think too hard about why 9/11 brought about a massive restructuring of our government along with a mass infringement of our civil liberties but a pandemic doesn't.

Governors and mayors shut down churches and assemblies by fiat. People weren’t allowed to see their family. Couldn’t sell goods and services. You may think that was necessary (and at least some of it was). But That doesn’t change what it was.
