You will hear similar stories from all around the world. Here in India, the lockdown was announced all of a sudden and people were given just a couple of hours to stock essential items. And the shopkeepers took advantage of this and increased the prices by 2x or 3x. The worst affected were migrant workers, who got stuck without any access to provisions. Many of them tried to return to their native villages by foot, walking for 1,000 or 1,500 km continuously.

I might have to be a little bit thankful that this kind of situation didn't happen in my country, the problem in my country though is the people that hoards like Smaug of the essential items but other than that, the situation in my country and yours isn't that different, people from provinces got caught in the lockdown in cities focing them to walk or if they are lucky, get to hitch a ride from a government transport but that one is unlikely to happen.
