Thoughts on the stock market...or economy's health

If a stock is a reflection of a company's health, and stock market is a reflection of an economy's health, why can't we close the stock market for a while until economy's health improves. As an individual, don't we look better in the mirror when we are in good shape(physically & emotionally).
There have been instances in the past when the stock market was shut down...why can't we do it now? Why take the pain of looking at(or speculating) a few numbers going up and down every few seconds, minutes, hours, days and months....!!!!
