The problem is the demand is artificial for most everyday things ( not medical supplies and equipment ). So after things slow down, the manufactures are not going to be able to sell products for awhile because everyone either stocked up or hoarded things. No sales equal no employees to manufacture, no employees to sell at the store, no drivers to ship product, less fuel needed to move product etc, etc, etc.
I have not changed my shopping much at all. I have been stocking supplies for about 15 years when my wife's health changed. I think people are confusing hoarding with having a little extra so they don't have to make trips. There is a difference. I absolutely dislike going to Costco. So I don't have to go for another 7 or so weeks, my base purchase is always, 8 cases of wipes, 2-4 cases of water, 2 large packages of paper towels, 1 large Kleenex pack, and then other things. That base shopping has been that way for almost 15 years. There was never an issue getting any of it. Now I would be considered a hoarder and not allowed to purchase those items even if I could get them. Has the need really changed? Is supply short? NO, its the hoarders and wack jobs out there that has caused most of this.
