That cognitive dissonance is natural, once you take a step back and look at the situation. Other than Boston, or isolated areas like Gagarin Base, the rate of CFD infections is likely very low, as a percentage of the population. And unless you know someone personally who has been infected, then it isn't going to affect you. After all, it isn't nearly as infectious as VITAS, and doesn't have the same kind of outward signs that many very nasty diseases have, so it is easy for people to put it on a back burner and focus on the shit that affects them. Like how today anyone living in the US knows that over a hundred people die each day due to firearms, but most people don't care until someone they know has been shot by a 'lone wolf', 'thug', or 'terrorist' (depending on the shooter's race and religion). Or how every 98 seconds another American is sexually assaulted, but no one cares unless it happens to someone they know, or someone actually calls out their assaulter, and it is someone important to the local sports team. And I can go on. Suffice to say, people are VERY good at focusing on the problems in their immediate area rather than the 'big picture'. To say nothing of those who focus on one problem, to the exclusion of others. People like the ones at Jackpoint or other datahavens are actually in the minority for paying as much attention to problems that don't immediately affect them, over a wide array of issues.
The corps and governments, on the other hand, are EXTREMELY concerned, because while it certainly isn't like a VITAS outbreak, CFD can affect basically anyone who isn't one of the Infected, and once infected, there is no standard treatment or cure. And trying to detect the infected is not easily done. Meaning that head cases could get access to any number of important people and projects if they wanted to. And it gets worse from there. So while 'man on the street' doesn't care much about CFD unless it affects them, the megas and governments DO care, because this is a threat to the bottom line.
