Fact that they are doing this.
1. National Evidence: I posted an article about this phenomenon. It's real, nationwide. They have people permanently and ridiculously scared to death.
2. Locally: I'm a member of numerous different "Communities" on Facebook that are Neighborhoods/Subdivisions/towns here - our subdivision, a town/community we all live in/neighbor, and other neighboring subdivisions. For the past 3 weeks, they are OVERWHELMED with people asking for at home Covid tests, where they can get them, when stores are stocking them. Utterly panicked. Some examples:

3. Personally: I was in the ER the week before Christmas. As posted here, my nurse had worked triage the day before. Said he handled 35 patients alone that were there scared to death they had Covid. 2 did. But the hospital had to check 33 that weren't, file paperwork, service them with a triage nurse then take them into the ER where doctors/nurses attended to them and they occupied a bed.
