Yes, same thing here with panic buying and this has calmed down. I have seen a lot of initiatives to assist the less well off here too. I fear certain foods will get more scarce and rise in price in the next few months. For example, India has halted all rice exports and they are having difficulty with their agricultural sector. All their works went home and lots of fields are empty. There are many more examples of this popping up around the world.
