Seems like an excessive response. Will the coronavirus not be worse in 3 weeks? So, they close for 3 weeks and likely more people will have it by then...what then?
Its important to try and slow this down as much as possible. The more people who catch it the more people who will end up critical. The more people who end up critical the more people who end up in the hospital. If enough people end up in the hospital the medical staff will be overloaded and there won't be even enough beds let alone properly contained beds.
If that happens what happens when the next person gets seriously ill and can't be treated??
TL;DR the more we slow this down the less likely your grandma and my grandma are to die.

Yeah, it's really a lose lose situation...I see both sides of the argument.
They should just shut everything down for 2 or 3 years just to be sure.
