My partner doesn't care about coronavirus — and I'm freaking out.
That said, it sounds like you and your boyfriend are on extreme opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to assessing danger. I suspect that if you change the topic to something else that is triggering, the two of you will have similar differences. It sounds like, outside of the latest coronavirus conflict, your boyfriend is simply very relaxed and you are hyper vigilant.
There is clearly also a denial factor at play. That your partner who has been saturated with news stories showing the mounting dangers of the virus was still planning to go to Italy until it was shutdown tells me that denial is not just a river in Egypt. We go into denial when the facts in front of us are too frightening, triggering, or distressing for us to process.
