Ideally, we record them and deny them hospital treatment if they catch the virus.

...........

a shocking disdain for human life.

Hmm...

Fair enough, it is seemingly inconsistent.
The way I see it, more lives would be lost by not strictly enforcing orders than if we deny treatment to those who repeatedly break the order, so we should consider these measures.  (I am a utilitarian at heart)
The shock value of not being given treatment is meant as a deterrent more than anything, and also has a second function in that we would free up hospital space and resources for those who actually did follow the orders as they were supposed to.
