Perhaps. But then the price of toilet paper would have been $100 per roll.
In either case, those that panic stockpile make it hard on the people who don't or who start stockpiling late.
The real solution is for everyone to have some sort of emergency stockpile starting now, not when disaster strikes. On the other hand, not everyone has a place to put 3 months or more of supplies.
