The problem is that there are a lot of people who can't see that these two things are very different:

a. taking the threat seriously, and making appropriate behavior changes to protect yourself and others

b. get into a full-blown panic that this is definitely and uquestionably the end of the world as we know it so all measures, whether or not we have any idea if they will do any good or not, are justified

I am following path "a", while our so-called "leaders" are following path "b".

The next few weeks should be interesting as I expect the data to start showing that we reached the peak. It will be interesting to watch the tactics used to continue to whip up the panic.
