Humanity has always had "prophets," from Mozi to Marx, claiming inevitability of "liberty, equality, and brotherhood." The collective sum of human experience clearly demonstate the fallacy of such delusions. For Marx, it was inevitability of economic history; for you, it is the inevitability of physics. When central authority and legitimate hierarchy collapse, men do not prosper, but rather subsist in poverty, chaos, and misery, until central power is re-established by their betters.
Epidemics require quarantine enforcement of procedures to contain the disease. Without the central authority and the heavies to enforce the policies, the quarantine is but a suggestion, which the muck blithely ignore. Who will stop the current mass migration into civilised world from the impoverished regions, and the consequent spread of illness, if not central authority and power? Who will stop transport and travel of goods and people, if not institutional authorities? The news agencies in the West has been on a full fear-monger panic mode, since the viral infection was detected. What each nation requires to control this infection is iron fisted enforcement of quarantine policies, conducted by a central authority, capitulating to a single throne, from which an iron-willed monarch directs humanity's response. What the world needs is emergency powers granted to the executives of each major nation-states to fully control the epidemic.
