I don't understand why people are hoarding either. It is very annoying and stressful in an already stressful circumstance. I find that now I have to shop more often and go to more stores to get essentials when I'm suppose to stay home. At least some stores are putting limits on how many you can buy of certain items which has helped some. We eat fresh food, nothing canned. So the local stores seem to have lots of fruits and veggies and are well stocked with meat. But flour and paper goods are scarce.
