I have stocked up on gasoline, toilet paper, bottled water, coffee, flour, cooking oil, sugar and salt. I am well aware that many might consider what I have done as hoarding. They may be right but my intent was not to buy it all up before it's all gone but rather to be a responsible citizen that is prepared for an extended stay in home quarantine. Far better IMHO to reduce my need to frivosly visit shopping centers for basic staples where I may become a vector in the spreading of this virus. I also believe that keeping a healthy stock of provisions is a good policy regardless of wether there is an emergency or not.
