Well with all due respect, there are big differences between CD19 and those others. They didn't cause whole countries to be at standstill, they didn't cause a worldwide pandemic. Right now, we're looking at a highly contagious disease which has no cure nor vaccine yet, something similarly of concern by medical community about super-resistant bacterias in hospitals getting out but now its a virus which is even worse. So concerns are valid.
Still on the other side of a coin, the world can't continue to standstill. We'd die of hunger before we get CD19. Meantime preventions like social distancing are the only solutions we have and unfortunately leisure travelling puts us at risk of not keeping safe. Hence IMO any unnecessary travelling should be put off unless there are guarantees of staying safe.
I believe Japan shares that same sentiments too which is why they haven't lifted foreign travelling ban as yet. I read Okinawa recorded ZERO foreign tourist 1st time in their history. That is the sacrifice Japan is willing to make and that tells us how seriously bad is CD19.
actually all the previous viruses are equally contagious and still has no cure or vaccine until today(many are even deadlier than covid-19)Still on the other side of a coin, the world can't continue to standstill.

do u know why the others aren't as worse?...it's call containment
when the other viruses are discovered, the countries took quick action to contain it...thus it didn't get worse...it didn't spread far
why covid-19 got so worse?...because a "specific country" lied about it and tried to cover it up
it was already too late when they admitted to it, it was already all over the world due to CNY
and actually almost all country has zero foreign tourist, that includes taiwan, thailand, south korea(all free from covid-19)..all haven't open their borders yet, it's not just japan
