I agree that shutting everything down is not possible. Even if it was possible, think of all of the needless misery, suffering and death that would result from not being able to get healthcare, prescriptions filled, food, etc. What would happen to people in nursing homes, assisted living? Would the staff be required to quarantine with the residents or would the residents be on their own? The best course of action really is for people to do their own individual risk assessments and mitigate their own risks as best they can, as necessary.
