Why is there no public outcry in US on coronavirus handling?

Question

The us leadership has botched how it&rsquo;s handled this situation. People with symptoms have been turned away from testing simply because they don&rsquo;t meet the criteria of having travelled to a region or being in contact with somebody who has been tested positively. Rich and famous people are being tested and common people who are already burdened by the economic state are bearing more. How can a countries populous not do anything ?The us&rsquo; ineffectiveness is exposing that American exceptionalism is nothing but the house of cards in this current time.What can people do besides the usual &ldquo;call your rep /senator&rdquo;?

There is a public outcry, but since it's not safe right now for people to assemble in noisy crowds it is necessarily only happening over the internet.

message managment and ridicule is a big part:
"I still say we have to as a nation and state go forth with everyday activities.”
That advice contradicts recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and information posted to Young’s own official campaign and congressional Facebook pages and his congressional website."
