According to a poster on sixpack roughly 1300 people have been tested in Miss. and 1100 were negative.

MSDH reported this morning that of the 1321 that had been tested 207 were positive. The US Surgeon General reported this morning that 90% of the ones tested nationwide, who thought they had it or had been exposed did not have the virus based upon the test results they had received so far.

Not trying to start a pissing match, but if you are in healthcare and you think this is being overblown by the media then 99% of your colleagues disagree with you. I can guarantee your institution is taking it seriously. You can also call it panic, but the natural result of closing restaurants and telling people to stay home is people flooding the grocery stores. You can argue that shutting everything down won't work, but its hard to argue that it is the wrong decision. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that won't ever feel this is a big deal unless someone close to them is affected. The flu comparison is not applicable, and anyone in healthcare should know that. As long as it continues to ravage and escalate in Italy, we should be doing everything we can to avoid that result. Disclaimer: just my opinion and subject to being wrong.

Grocery store raids were happening from day one. Not when things started shutting down. It was straight panic and hoarding.

Read it again...

"1% of everyone who is tested"; not all who are tested have it.

"2.3% of all cases died"; this is among only the infected

The circled part says "cases" which implies infected. The headline of that section is purposefully misleading.

One of many reasons the article was taken down.

Great post

For those of you who continue to blame The Deep State, the Liberal Press, or China, you sound foolish. Please just stop. Go ahead, call me Snowflake, Nancy etc if it makes you feel better, but reality is quickly setting in and you know it. We screwed up big time. Accept that reality and drive on, and above all else, Trust Science.

ALAS, BABYLON!!
