You are the one who doesn't understand two simple things:

1. This disease will only kill so "few" people because of all these measurements which will obviously reduce the numbers by a huge margin. Here in Germany we have around 4000 traffic related deaths per year if I'm not wrong. If everyone would laugh so much about this disease as you do and politicians would also act like you do, we would have a lot more deaths in Germany after a year. So much about your "car accident" example from another post.

2. It doesn't help me to know that I won't die even when infected but also knowing that I will on average infect 2-3 more people who then will infect 2-3 more each to be responsible for 100+ infected people after some time. Because just for "I'm annoyed" there would be probably at least one death coming from my infection. 

But hey, it's up to you if you don't care that a 70 years old guy will die some weeks after you infected some other people it's up to you. 

*sigh* It's not that I dont agree with many measures being taken, but with some, such as forcibly closing the commerce.The regular, street commerce for example.

Let me put it this way, and use your own words against you:

But hey, it's up to you if you don't care that a 70 years old guy will die some months after his son or grandson has no money to pay for his medication or to have money for an emergency procedure at a private hospital(since the public ones will be full) because he couldn't work for months, and the government is too busy fixing this whole mess to help you.Or that his pension isn't being paid because the whole economy went to shit.But hey, it's up to you. 

Next flaw in your logic. You don't help anyone financially if you just let every store run like before. It would just cost even more in the long run because you would  reach so many deaths a day in USA alone that people wouldn't even go outside anymore even with open stores. It wouldn't be cheaper to let people still fly around just to save airlines because people wouldn't even want to fly anymore if you would reach the number of deaths experts believe we would reach. 

Yes, this virus is that bad if anything we see in Italy even with extreme measurements is a hint.  

But let's be honest here. You just think about yourself right now without even understanding that even you would have more problems as you will have now if the world would only do what you think should be done.
