I lean in that direction - varying degrees of overreaction. If any officials are stimulating it, I believe that is out of an abundance of caution.
In past disaster situations, motivating large populations to take the recommended actions has been met with low levels of compliance. It seems very dire messaging improves compliance.
Anyone in Hurricane zones know what I mean.
On the possible higher death rates some are predicting, we should recall our own rising death rate over the past 3 years. Currently, on any given day, 7298 people die in the US from all causes - or in the time I took to type this, 15 people expired.

Sad fact - but I hope the current hyper-efforts in messaging about coronavirus can keep any increases to as low a number as possible.
