On Sunday, President Trump urged Americans to shop responsibly as they prepare for coronavirus lockdowns: “You don’t have to buy so much,” he said. “There’s no need for anybody in the country to hoard essential food supplies.” To restock in the time of high demand, many stores are closing early. To counter hoarding, the Texas supermarket H-E-B is limiting purchases of some items, including canned soup, beans, milk, eggs, and chicken.
