Are people panic buying bulk food now to quarantine or fear of supply chains drying up?

Genuinely curious because the latter isn't going to happen unless we are months/years into this thing and we are on the verge of the end of mankind.
I am pretty sure you will still be able to get groceries for the foreseeable future.

How many fricking threads are you going to start about this shite?

They're panic buying because they're buying into the media overhyping this thing.

I think people are scared of mandatory shutdown where you can’t leave your house for 2 weeks.

No. People are buying in bulk for the fear of a potential future quarantine

I think people are just dumb as frick in general.

This is the reason I haven't trapped or shot the abundant squirrels around my house over the past couple years.
I also have a groundhog who may not be long for this world.
I may catch an entirely different virus, but at least I won't starve.

Even on the rare chance that happens there will still be a means to get food. They aren't going to shut people in and say now starve to death.

Hat tip to David Ricky for this.
I think a lot of us are like this where we think it's hysteria, but for real could be a 2-4 week lockdown. So, we want to play it cool, but have something to eat and low key buy supplies just in case.

I genuinely had to go to the store anyway, but having seen the shelves so empty I picked up some bulk basic crap like rice and canned beans in The event the craze continues for long.
It’s not like I won’t eat it anyway

They are buying bulk food and TP due to hospital capacity

Most people panic buying don't know what "supply chain" is.
So I'll go with quarantine fears.

I don’t know, but I do know in Southeast Louisiana that my family, friends and neighbors will most likely be ok.

People panic and do irrational shite. Its that simple.

I had the wife buy some extra formula for the newborn, but that's it.
I definitely dont understand the toilet paper panic. Even if you are out, I assume the shower still works...
