Perhaps 9/11 had more visual impact. It had explosions, airplane crashes, buildings crumbling and people dying en masse. An action/disaster movie gone live. Of course people would be glued to their TVs on that day. You don't actually see the deaths of the coronavirus. For most, it just means shelter in place, event cancellations and empty streets. The horror happening at the hospitals everyday happens indoors and does not reach the average healthy populace. Perhaps if ill bodies turned all purple, got massively suppurated and then exploded, then maybe, it would get more people's attention, yet they act as if the diseased were all dying from old age.
