Expecting the government to take this kind of individualized approach when they don't do that for any other action is insanity.

The government does not act or make judgements on a scale individualized to different circumstances. They group into large categories and make one generalized big decision for "

society

"

It's a problem of scale. It just happens to be visible now because it's affecting our lives.

Could you imagine if leaders had to make the decision for what's dinner? Do you think they could please everyone?

No. It'd end up being some generalized decision that's based on what's cheapest to make while leading to the least amount of 'very-bad' outcomes for the population.

But there would be no warm 

barszcz

or home made 

Spaghetti

or so on. It'd be some bland generalized potato dish. Prob good enough for most people.

If you want to live an individualized life then you're never going to get it from a generalized provider. You are the individual at the end.
