One has laws governing behavior in the workplace, and a social norm (washing hands) has become "the norm".
In one case people mostly follow the recommended prevention methods and the virus is limited to about 30,000 deaths per year.
The other one many DONT follow the recommended prevention methods (by god I got rights!) and about 600,000 died last year.

Yes, they are both viruses, just like an amoeba and an elephant are both animals
