It gets worse. There is a phenomenon among Chinese expats known as Daigou[0]. It is a common problem in Australia[1], for example. Groups of expats will swarm a store, circumventing per person limits, buy out an entire shelf of a &quot;luxury&quot; good (videos of baby formula for example are on YouTube), load up their trucks, then drive over to the next town.<p>They&#x27;ve likely been doing the same in the US. Masks have been totally sold out since January (when I started looking for them) while the vast majority of Americans were still totally unaware of the virus.<p>0. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Daigou" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Daigou</a><p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tSjeDH22njk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tSjeDH22njk</a>

Shouldn’t the title be “hoarding”?
