Mr. Tedesco is executive for Bergen County, NJ.

His executive order, now delayed until March 21, orders closures of  malls, shopping centers, offices, construction and business activity    pending limited exceptions. Also, “No groups of more than four people, other than family members, shall assemble at any time within  [Bergen county] until further notice.” (found here ).  My emphasis.

How do we know it is panic?  “If you want to put money over somebody’s life, then shame on you”, he says.  That is fallacy of the limited choice.  Also “Citing his ‘moral authority’ to take the executive action” (found here)   is a wonderful example of junior tyranny.
