People wants a united society to save them.

Government = society.

This notion is dangerously pro-totalitarian.

Government=the people who have the power to kill other people and get away with it. No more, no less.

As long as people need to coordinate in a society, a government will form; it is exactly the institution that handles exactly the matters that need to be solved by societal coordination.

Public health is almost the canonical example of something where you need concerted response organised by a government. So yes, we expect government action.
