Given the obsession with individualism and the denigration of the very notion of society/community; intrinsic features of the dog-eat-dog ideology - neoliberalism - imposed since Thatcher/Reagan... it is hardly surprising that many people are hoarding food and unable to think as a collective in a time of crisis. Every man for himself!
Plus it’s a result of having corrupted, useless governments that have been taken over by that market-knows-best ideology, and thus have handed over power to private corporations. Leaving them incapable. And thus leaving the public scared that government will not look out for them, ensuring food supplies etc.
