They are worried others will panic buy and then they won’t be able to get what they need.
Not because they are worried about under supply as such.
I doubt you’ll find anyone that actually admits to panic buying, rather plenty of people that are just buying a little bit extra of a few things (which is panic buying).
It’s the prisoner’s dilemma in action; we’d all be better off if everyone just carried on as normal, but due to the risk of being f**ked over lots of people decide they might as well do the f**king rather than getting f**ked.
