Shut down the economy for 2 weeks = Extreme agitation / irritations brewing / chaos afoot
Shut it down for a month = complete irrationality. Illogical thinking, run for cover!
Shut it down for two months = If you haven’t gotten the F##k out by now, well you’re ######

Self isolation works because it costs the government nothing and merely delays the inevitable (that we'll all get the flu at some stage).

Care to explain how any government or scientific body is meant to test people and contain a virus with an incubation period of upto 14 days without pre-existing knowledge of it?
I know that tune... it goes like this...

If you're looking for a somewhat informed and honest answer, I'll offer one.
The current moves toward quarantines and sequestration is not really about trying to prevent immediate sickness and death in the short term. These are desirable outcomes to be sure but they are not the point.
The point is to try and prevent it from spreading as much as possible because it is a novel ( new ) virus and every new infection is a chance for mutation.
That's the short and cold version.

It makes perfect sense ya big freak. Commies run and hide. They don't have anything to fight for. They do what they are told without thinking. All these politicians telling you to shut up, roll over and die are weak and need to be replaced. They want you to go home and give up. Stay away from the fight. Go home. Die. This country needs one politican with the guts to tell it like it is. We fight for our way of life. And our way of life is not wimping out and cowering in the corner hoping the invisible boogieman passes over us. This is a damned shame to see leaders call off the fight. They have failed us.
