HONG KONG, CHINA - 2022/03/01: As panic buying hit Hong Kong, a man carries three dozen toilet paper rolls. In Hong Kong, rumors spread out that the government plans to impose a lockdown after reporting tens of thousands of new Covid-19 cases every day. This rumor results in public hoarding supplies, out-of-stock pharmacy products, and entrepreneurs selling their products on the streets. Vendors sold testing kits three for 100 HKD or 10 for 300 HKD, while flu medicine costs 200 HKD for five packages. (Photo by Ben Marans/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images)
