Is everyone in a fullblown panic because of coronavirus?

Hearing rumors of autopsies being denied from Washington nursing home deaths & intentional hoarding/back ordering of tests to juke the stats. It wouldn't even surprise me after this nugget:

Do you have a link for those rumors?

Just some online comment; maybe trolling/fake news, the most I've found is the following:

Killian went on to say that since February 19, Life Care Center reported 26 deaths. Since that date, 11 additional patients died at the facility. They generally have three to seven deaths a month, Killian said. Life Care Center is still waiting back for reports on post-mortem testing and whether 11 of those patients tested positive for coronavirus. They received 45 testing kits on Thursday.

Washington nursing home coronavirus deaths could be higher than reported

(AP/CNN) — The number of deaths linked to coronavirus in Washington state could be even higher than the 16 already announced based on figures released by the nursing home at the center of the region's outbreak.

The Life Care Center of Kirkland said Saturday that since Feb. 19, 26 of its residents have died. Typically, about three to seven residents die at the facility each month.

Of the 26 who died, 15 did so at hospitals where they were tested for COVID-19. But 11 died at the nursing home, and Life Care said it has no information about post-mortem tests to see if those 11 had the coronavirus.

And yet as of late February, when the first case of covid-19 without links to known cases in the United States was detected in California, fewer than 500 tests had been conducted to detect transmission in this country. (By the end of this past week, testing had sped up, and more than 200 U.S. cases had been diagnosed, but the administration admitted that the country still doesn’t have enough tests to meet the expected demand.) Most worrying, some U.S. cases, like two reported Tuesday in King County, Wash., have only been detected retrospectively, after patients died. If the virus announces its presence only at the postmortem, that suggests the outbreak is already out of control.
