Did you see anything happening that could calm the panic?
IMHO, we need some kind of announcement of a FDA approved safe2use vaccine/cure/therapy by well respected doctors and/or medical institutions.
This is a hard question for me to answer. Because I did not panic in the first place. And I have been sharing my lack of fear from day one. I do not have an insight into why people are panicking. There are two ways to cut down the panic. A political message from President assuring people that he is charge and doing things to fight the crisis. I will leave it up to individuals to decide whether he is doing it right.
And the second is invention of a cure. That is a process that cannot be completed in days or weeks. There are some promising drugs like Chloroquine and FDA is testing it. It is approved for compassionate use.

I panic long ago 
Trying to control my fear 
I watched all his press conference. He himself seems to panic too. In fact, I find VP Pence speech more soothing.

There are a few in-progress initiatives that do calm the nerve,
a. Widespread testing and fast-around tests - still not here yet. not sure why some non-public health officials talk about this issue - guess is the so-called freedom of speech. I prefer hearing from HHS or CDC or the task force or local government officials.
b. Sufficient local availability of beds/ventilators - not articulate sufficiently clear to all. flattening the curve is attempting to achieve it at national level but as an individual, local is more relevant.
c. Loss of jobs & financial issue - addressed at national level but companies are laying off people!
Please don’t wear your SWE hat. Put on the empathy hat.
Usual disclaimer: correlation is not causation.
US death count doubling every 3 days
Life comes at you fast. Last week: just let everyone gets it. This week: SHUT DOWN THE ECONOMY!!
Johnson said that all shops selling nonessential goods would be closed, along with libraries and places of worship, and that all social events would be stopped other than funerals.
Good foresight.
