The eff it's not. Highly dependent on where you are. In NYC, Nola, and Atlanta it absolutely is.
Therefore shut down every elective procedure across the country?

They didn’t cancel elective procedures for the next four months. Probably two weeks.

Not all of them. But most, yes. If you recall, 2 weeks ago there were 14 case in LA and 216 in New York. Most states have much more than that today. If you believe that your area is somehow immune, than doing nothing works fine. If you think that absent intervention, big case numbers are coming wherever you are, it makes sense to address demand by social distancing and supply by capacity management. And elective procedures have to make way for what's coming. I say that as someone who's life's vocation is pretty much helping health systems compete for elective procedures.
