I don't know if "hoarders" or simply "speculators" is the best word to describe the people who swoop into stores that sell at normal prices and clean out the inventory for resale at vastly inflated prices. Locally, they manipulate prices by monopolizing the supply. In aggregate, and along with panic buying, they have been able to monopolize much of the supply nationally.
