You can shield your kids from your financial problems much of the time. You can't shield them from a communicable disease.

you also have far more influence on your financial problems then a disease.

Financial problems are, aslong as the basic needs are met (food, water, housing etc) purely a societal problem.

A disease with a deadly track record and no cure is far worse and is something you or anybody else in society has little to no control over.
