Went to lowes this week and they were out of pavers. Had to go to home depot.
The demand supply spikes are very unique and are being strongly studied for statistical analysis on store placement and demand. I would say that the demand issues are going to be problematic until all the lock downs are lifted and everyone is working.
I would say though that many are getting a new appreciation for cooking. Many gardens and grilling pits have been made and plans for many more down the road.
The closest parallel in history is the Spanish flu, but even then, everything was different, fast food was only known via the automats and maybe white castle, the rest were sit in, but, almost all food was made at home. Most all things were made from scratch and imported items were so pricey that to wear such items were a symbol status statement. Sears and the hardware store was the closest thing you had to Walmart and lowes.
Right now is a very unique picture of history. As scary as it is the total picture is a very unique thing. It is also a great time to view consumption levels and what you need to focus on having an inventory of.
