I'm not minimizing the threat as I feel that the threat is huge. It's just that I thought that when it got here it would spread like wildfire. I thought the hospitals would be overwhelmed in a matter of days.

Maybe it's because the first cases got here around the same time as the Governor's stay at home order.

I've personally met and chatted with some people here in TV that think the everyone is over reacting and that it's not a big deal. I witnessed myself people in a supermarket standing within inches of one another and talking into each other's face.

I guess (hope) that these cases are few and far between but I really thought that once it got here we were going to see thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths within a matter of weeks.

It appears that we're doing a great job of mitigating. Way to go!!! Keep up the good work.
Yes, you're right it is spreading pretty fast but if you listen to the news they told you it would & bad spots would move all the time for a couple of weeks or more. I'm surprise nobody has mentioned the stock market. Our stock market has dropped 1,000 points for at least 3 weeks now, some rich person, maybe in another country is buying it at a very low price, you know maybe someone might take over a lot of companies here in the U.S. So yes it doesn't surprise me that TV is in a bad way now but some other states that were having people drop like flies, it's a 100% better. So yes, the govt. told us it's going to get worse before it gets better. Just do what they're telling us to do, then you can say you did everything they told you to do. Maybe it's getting worse in other places because these people are running around like they're calling this virus a buff. Have & good day, & God Bless everyone!
