It feels imminent that something along the lines of martial law is about to be mandated here in the U.S. I think that is at the basis of the panic buying. Or at least it is a major factor. People fear they will be told they can’t go out, and the entire nation will be quarantined. And without a good supply of food at home, they will go hungry.
The other major factor is hoarding. But it’s interesting. All it takes is a few people buying a two year supply of TP to launch a stampede. Why? Because if you see someone snatching up toilet paper, you realize you have no choice. You have to stock up because people are out there hoarding!
I got a lot of steps today because I went out shopping again! There were a few ingredients we needed for the meals we have planned for the next two weeks, and we really wanted our freezer well stocked. I think we will be glad we did.
Thanks for visiting my blog!

Chain reactions...Who would think we'll see them in real markets the way we're used to seeing them in virtual markets...It's a thing, really. You just have to prepare for people overpreparing.
Ha ha. Well said, @manoldonchev!
This is the situational almost everywhere.
But thank God hare in India the items are still available in market (price is gone up for some of the items).
Hoarding of oods will certainly be unavoidable since there would be scarcity of goods.

So glad I live in a small town in Ohio as not to many stupid city type people live here. Heck there isnt even a grocery store in my town (no police dept either) but the Family Dollar is fully stocked of most items.
