So now that testing is being rolled out, should we brace ourselves for a massive panic and more chaos at the grocery stores?

Simple math: No testing = No Positives = No Panicking

I feel like the US overall has been lulled into a false sense of security due to the overall lack of testing. Here in the Houston area, we've been told that there were a small handful of cases in Fort Bend due to a Egyptian cruise, and a few other presumptive cases scattered around Houston. Sure, the number is growing, but to the average dolt, less than a hundred cases in a population of 2+ million is nothing to be too concerned about.

Now that is testing is being rolled out, however, I expect those positive numbers to skyrocket and put us right in line with what's being seen in the UK and parts of Europe. People being shocked to learn they're symptomless carriers, or that the dry cough and fatigue they've had for the last week wasn't actually just allergies.

If everything is legit and honest, will we:

a) see the number of Houston cases leap from 60-70 to 10,000s in less than a week or two as the tests are completed?

b) see more panic and anarchy as the true extent of the spread is revealed?

Let me know your thoughts on what we can expect to see in the upcoming weeks as these tests are finally being conducted.
