They are constantly scanning the horizon for the shit to start hitting the fan. When something pops up on radar they quickly see a domino effect of what could follow and pass it on to others with the same view. This kicks in survival mode and what they might have been planning to buy at later times they put their preps on fast foward.
The doomers and survivalists, if they are of an age that they have had time, have already bought and are already ready, either that or they are moving to "plan b" (or C, D or E) and are going after the supplies that one can get even if the freeze dried stuff is gone.
I think it is the "wanna-be's" who are panicking now. Those people who lacked the resolve to act earier and are just now motivated byevents to to hurry up and do something.
I made an order last month from survival acres and the guy wrote to tell me he was sorry that it was going to take a while, and I wrote back it's okay, this is just filling around the edges for me. The box got here yesterday except for the eggs, they're on backorder I guess.
