Funny how your last paragraph makes all of the above sounds irrelevant. That's the exact same rational - emotional chain "panic buyers" went through.

Not at all. That's like telling people it's irrational to buy a fire extinguisher. Point is going out a buying all the fire extinguishers when there is a mass panic is dumb. Time to take reasonable precautions is in normal times, and I'm not talking about filling a floor in your house with TP, either.
