The financial fallout is real and will get worse for families the longer the economy is closed. New York City is densely populated where people (literally) live on top of each other and crowded subways take people too/from work. It is necessary to close/reduce the economy here to save a significant number of lives; and to slow down the contagion to reduce the burden on an already strapped health care system including health care workers.
However, I don't know that the economy should close in sparsely populated or spread out areas where the virus is truly novel; except that people who live in dense areas will flee to sparse areas (which has been happening) especially those in which the economy is open which will keep the virus thriving.
