Bad analogies aside, actually having an outline planned that's known before this kind of stuff even starts would probably help some... closing restaurants/bars seems extreme at this point, IMO, outside of possibly very few cities.

There is a measured way to deal with this... micro-target the containment and mitigation strategies to minimize disruption to business/society.
People in high risk groups should individually social distance (this is a regular best practice when people have compromised immune systems such as cancer patients going through chemotherapy).
Also as is done with the flu and food borne outbreaks, target mitigation actions towards specific locations that are experiencing a surge of cases (i.e. you don’t close every restaurant in a state or a city if you can target a norovirus food borne outbreak to a specific restaurant).
