I think this is what is gonna happen (in the U.S.). Because of lack of coordinated shutdown of non-essential economic activity, much more people will become infected, causing eventual shut downs of more essential activity.

It might feel better, but in fact, it is making things worse, by not conserving heat on the parts of your body that are less essential for your survival.
