But this is a weird virus - YOU could have it right now, be spreading virus all over the place - and feel perfectly fine..

When the virus finally overwhelms your immune system, you'll be looking for a rural hospital that might already be full.
THAT is why they are closing the parks.
Nothing weird about this virus. It's a fairly typical virus. You just are now learning about how viruses spread.
If I'm quarantining in the RV, the only surfaces I'm touching are my RV. Why are you going around touching my RV during a quarantine period?
There is typically a few days between symptoms and getting serious complications...so you can always drive back to your urban area if the rural hospital is full...but we've already been quarantined for 3 weeks with no signs...so not really an issue.
Again, placing some logical limits makes sense (ie: bathhouses and visitor centers closed) but blanket closures don't make near as much sense.
