I think the 'OMG so much disinformation!' storyline is a tempest in a teapot. I won't speak for the rest of the world but the entire United States has effectively shut down thanks to an invisible threat that almost certainly has not affected anyone you know. Yet people are generally calm, considerate, and taking appropriate measures. There are always outliers who will buck that trend, but they are pretty far and few between. Don't get fooled just because the media has highlighted those exceptions as if they are widespread. Where I'm at people are staying home, closing their businesses, keeping their distance from others, and expressing genuine concern. But they aren't panicked. There are a few people I'm connected with on social media that insist the measures being taken are excessive. Some are just natural skeptics. Some of them are desperate for attention. A few others believe there are aliens at Area 51. And they might even be right that we've overreacted - time will tell. But in the meantime, they are staying home and taking the recommended precautions anyway, despite their rhetoric. Focus on the attention whoring cranks at your own psychological peril. But my experience suggests the actions and behavior of my fellow citizens and residents have, so far, been worthy of praise.
