If there's an illness that has a high fatality rate for a certain demographic, they are the people who should be self isolating. There is no need for countries to be shutting down for what in the majority of cases is an asymptomatic infection.

Thanks for replying Deimos. I have been regularly browsing tildes since I registered but rarely if ever post on any forum. I respect the fact the topic has been removed but I feel it's a little harsh. I fully agree with flattening the curve, I understand that this is a serious health concern, but I do not live in the US. We have reacted very differently here than in the USA and have taken huge isolation and quarantine measures to ensure the impact of COVID-19 are as limited as possible.
I feel this post warranted some discussion, knowing full well that my opinion isn't the best laid out and probably not the most sensible. Discussion is what can clear this for me and potentially for others in a similar position.
