While this is not directly related to Allscripts or layoffs from Allscripts I'll answer your question with another question.
There is no logical reason why this particular virus should be causing this level of stupidity, insanity, and outright panic - it's certainly within our capabilities to manage and mitigate the effects and spread of CoVID-19. Right now, against the target population levels we're talking infection rates that average less than 2/1000ths of 1% and lethality rates less than 3/10000ths of 1% of the population(s). Basic hygienic precautions and some "social distancing" are probably going to keep those numbers in the same ballpark for the run of this virus. I think most people with two brain cells to rub together certainly understand the need to help prevent the spread - but it's pretty apparent that approaching the situation with anything resembling deliberative calm and rational actions has gone out the window.

When are people going to start asking questions of and start getting angry that they've allowed others to create the hysteria that will ultimately destroy more lives than the virus ever will?

Lives, livelihoods, indeed entire economies are being utterly gutted right now because the much more infectious "mob mentality" has virally infected vast percentages of the population. When the human cost of that is finally assessed a lot of people are going to only have themselves to blame for allowing it to happen. Do you think that most people creating panic and chaos are going to own up to their part in it?
As far as Allscripts goes - well, it's probably just another nail for the coffin lid at this point. At least the "Travel Ban" austerity measure (in place since January) now has a great cover story.
