There are other options. One such option is to let non-essential businesses stay open and stop it with the travel bans. There'd be other benefits besides preventing economic collapse, delayed or otherwise - less domestic violence, people in Africa won't starve because of other countries are hoarding food (and Africa being a net importer a food will suffer), local farmers won't suffer a severe shortage of transient workers, etc.

Do I recommend that? I don't know.

I do know there's a big vacuum in the discussions of COVID-19. We are trying to preserve lives, so why don't we ever talk about the deaths extreme isolation measure will cause? If they pale in comparison to the COVID-19 deaths, fine.
