Toilet paper, disinfectant and groceries are once again flying off the shelves across the United States, as several states have been forced to impose stricter lockdowns amid a surge in Covid-19 cases.
Back in March, many stores were left scrambling to restock shelves that had been wiped out in the first round of panic buying.
Pictures taken in recent days of empty store shelves and long lines suggests many people are once again panic buying.
Experts, however, say this run will likely be less severe as stores and shoppers are more prepared, adding that many people have already hoarded supplies in their basements.
Flying off the shelves 날개 돋힌 듯 팔려나가다, (자동사) 불티나게 팔린다 -> selling like a hot cake 도 같은 표현이라고 봐도 무방하죠?

Amazon elbowed its way into online prescription drug sales Tuesday, sending shares of giant drugstore chains plummeting over fears of new competition.
The e-commerce giant debuted the new Amazon Pharmacy a little more than two years after it acquired an online pharmacy for $753 million, a deal that foreshadowed the company’s entrance into the business.
The store is available to all customers, though Amazon Prime members, who generally pay $119 a year in the United States, get two-day delivery with no added charge.
Though long expected, the announcement rattled the drugstore industry, sinking the shares of Amazon’s new rivals.
