yes, I did stock up. In fact, when I stocked up it was well before the panic. I was one of 3 people in the entire store and everything was fully stocked. I did not pick up any more than myself and my wife reasonably needed.
When things started to get nuts, my wife ordered some extra of everything on amazon. Nothing more than we could reasonably need. when we found out delivery services were 7-10 days out, we ordered some more...knowing that we would soon be out of what we bought.
that said, hoarders are the ones that have months of supplies on hand that they will likely never need. The ones that have way more than they could ever use. The ones that you see fighting in the videos. the ones that fill up because it is there and they are terrified someone will get something that they might need in the future.
I have enough to get by. And every few days I go back to the market with gloves on and sanitizer and wipes and I pick up some more eggs and whatever fruits and vegetables I can find. so far, I have not had trouble finding anything except for toilet paper and paper towels.

Interesting? It was the only thing you wrote that stuck out like a sore thumb. It was not factual and completely emotion based, calling out a behavior that you yourself did to a degree. And I don't fault you. I did the same. But that was a rather harsh thing to a say either way, and not remotely realistic.
I think rationing could be the way forward until we can get through the mess, if ever. It seems stores are implementing that now for certain items. Makes sense.
