The panic buying led to a cycle where you would get a huge number of sales, where basically nobody could keep up in the supply chain for two or three days of product. In some notable cases, the shopping behavior resulted in shortages of products in grocery stores (e.g., toilet paper), which exacerbated people's concerns and may have increased stockpiling behavior. In our study, 47% of food secure and 87% of food insecure respondents reported buying different types of food, with increased consumer resourcefulness reported through home cooking.
