Panic buying of daily products has happened around the world when a lockdown or new status of Covid-19 is revealed.
During a lockdown, we are allowed to do grocery shopping but many items are sold out because many are stocking up more than what they need.
This is indeed a psychological exhibition of fear and many are afraid of food shortage too.
Excessive buying can result in shortage even when there is more than enough for everyone.
We should buy what we need as everyone plays a part to ensure there is enough for everyone.
During a lockdown, there are fewer workers at the import areas so food supplies coming in may be slower than usual.
With more overbuying while lesser coming in, food shortage can be a terrible result.
The importance of trusting the governments that they would try their best to ensure we have enough rather than overbuying what we may not need at the moment.
Keep calm and be socially responsible to buy what we need so that others can have what they need too.
