Case in point the media is doing a great job of spreading fear and panic just today they reported 32,000 reported cases so I went to the CDC for its most current and they say 15,000+....the culture of western society has just shown its soft underbelly to an opposing ideology

The 30k plus number you heard, is a number being reported by CNN, the John Hopkins Tracking Corona Virus Map and sites like Worldmeters.info. The John Hopkins Map is said to be in "Real Time". Reminds me of the polling data and interactive maps from the 2016 election.
Sources for the John Hopkins Map:

What are the sources of data informing the dashboard?
The data sources include the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, local media reports, local health departments, and the DXY, one of the world’s largest online communities for physicians, health care professionals, pharmacies and facilities.

Another website livescience.com as 3/22/2020 was reporting ABOUT 26,747 confirmed cases in the US.
The University of Minnesota has list of interactive maps:
http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/maps-visuals
Running through the list there are 3 groups and these groups are reporting numbers of cases in the US as 30k Plus, 20k plus or 15k plus.
CNN reported the "Grim Milestone" of over 32,000 confirmed cases yesterday, but gave no source for the number. CNN also report the number of conformed cases in NY was over 15k.
To put things into perspective, the "Grim Milsteone" of 32k plus of confirmed in the US is not even close to 1% of the population. The 15k plus of confirmed cases in New York is far below 1% of the state population, in fact all the numbers being reported in each individual state are all far below 1% of the State's population. In the Great State of Kansas, the KDHE reports 975 deaths due to Influenza and Pneumonia, and 2 deaths from the Corona virus. Gov. Kelly (D) is officially shutting down at least 2 counties, Johnson and Wyandotte for 30days beginning tomorrow, in a State with 65 confirmed cases (I thought there were no tests?) and 2 deaths.
