Why I think panic buying is not just ok, but actually the right thing to do

Hear me out before you lock the thread for inciting panic or something. I am not talking about things like toilet paper, the consumption of ordinary items will not actually go up that much, I am talking about flu remedies like isotonic drinks, paracetomol and other things. When the spread of the disease is quite bad, even if noone ever panic bought items there will be so many people with flu that there will be a shortage of these items. So I think it is a good idea to go out and get some stuff before it all runs out.

Trouble is most people are not sensible. If there was an outbreak here - all i would do is get a couple of packs of paracetomal @ 16p . Not fill up a shopping trolley with stuff i dont need.

Im in a seaside town - and no-one is going round wearing masks or staying in. The town and pubs are still busy on a saturday night.
