Unfortunately, you can't apply Kantian ethics with limited resources. Not that any politicians actually think like that.
How about the life of someone who lost their jobs/got laid off due to shutdown? Do they not matter?
Shutdown is a short term solution where you are suspecting everyone simply because you don't know, but you can't do this forever as you need people to go out and spend money on things other than grocery to collect taxes and encourage the cash flow. It's like throwing everyone in the prison because there is a potential we can all be criminals.
I can only hope that we can get enough testing kits. At least that can help more accurately pinpoint who has the virus and who doesn't.
