Well, well well ... look at the Democratic Socialist Countries

Paid quarantine

Number two: People actually get paid for being in quarantine. The government, in association with Confederation of Icelandic Employers and the unions in Iceland, have come to an agreement to pay people salaries for being in quarantine. And what’s more, it doesn’t affect their sick leave at all. It’s vital that people stay in the quarantine, for the risk is that a whole company needs to shut down if an employer breaks his quarantine. This is also logical, because breaking quarantine, knowing that you can contaminate, is illegal. You can get a hefty fine or even prison time for it.

2. What makes you think Iceland is a "Democratic Socialist" country? N/T

3. Iceland isn't democratic socialist.

It has a mixed-market capitalist economic system, similar to the other Nordic countries that are also often misconstrued to be democratic socialist.

4. So a economic depression is your solution?

Virus goes nuts, which it will.
Schools close. No babysitters, parents can't work. No mortgage payment, foreclosure.
Hundreds of thousands of families ecery week. Companies collapse and go bankrupt.
Economic depression results.

I guess you can blame the snowmen of Iceland. But viruses do not know about national borders and they are coming for you.

Fire will kill a virus, so let's start with your house to keep you safe.

( This was sarcasm, as I assume this post of yours was too, because your's was too stupid to be something to be considered)

5. What a ridiculously sensible country Iceland must be. I want to move there.

It's not a socialist country, by the way, nor are any of the other Scandinavian countries; they are all parliamentary democracies with capitalist economies - and Iceland's relative lack of business regulation led to an almost complete collapse of its economy during the 2008 crash, but at least some bankers went to jail afterwards. They do have robust social programs supported by very high taxes - something we need to remember when touting Scandinavia as a model.
