his Mom and family didn't think it was real. That may -- or may not -- because they heard the introduction to the show. Or it might be because when CBS radio was getting lots of phone calls, a reminder was made mid-show. The number of people who reacted in panic has likely been inaccurately reported on the plus side, maybe due in part to the newspaper coverage the following day. But it is an error to say "essentially no one" believed it. No one can put a number on it, only speculate ...... much like one can only speculate on the drone crisis of 2024.
