There are people that claimed 7-10 days ago that the hospitals would be overwhelmed in 7-10 days. Starting to feel more doomsday-esque.

I don’t mean this in a condescending tone at all, I’m truly curious. What are you under the impression the hospitalization rate for someone testing positive for COVID 19 is? What % of positive tests will need to be admitted as inpatients in an actual hospital?

1. Overreact(possibly), cause economic hardship but possibly save lives by not overwhelming hospital resources. The problem is if we are wrong it is hard to prove that as people will say that the perceived overreaction saved lives and resources.
2. Do very little directly, warn people to wash their hands and practice social distancing whenever possible but do not shut things down in order to protect businesses and jobs. If very little happens, that's great but if this is the wrong approach we will have an untold number of deaths and an overwhelmed medical system which then leads to more needless deaths not directly related to COVID-19. People may say this would have happened anyway and that is also tough to prove.
So I have no idea what the right answer is but I think I'd prefer the risk associated with option 1 than option 2.

No Louisiana is good enough for me. Thanks and stay safe.

Team overreaction would have been right 2 months ago. Now what they are doing isn’t stopping the spread of anything.

I keep seeing and hearing the word panic. Who the frick is panicking?
Is it the frickin' weirdos who hoard ammo? Is it the anxious Moms who hoard toilet paper? Is it federal, state and local governments trying limit movement and mitigate the disease? Is it folks buying up all the ribs at Walmart?
Where's all this frickin' panic I've been hearing about?
I see unusual buying trends. I haven't seen one single person or group of people panic though.

I hope not. If we do find out, the only answer is TeamPanic was correct and we all die...I hope this is a massive overreaction and we sending memes about the Astros in a month
