At what? Something that doesn't appear to stack up and contradicts personal experience? There were some notable shortages in the early Covid days when people paniced a bit but I've not seen anything since (unless you count the stupid petrol panic from a couple of weeks ago).

Because when I go to the grocery store for asparagus they better have it. We had an issue with toilet paper because people were stockpiling it at the start of covid... but not this.

Again. Not surprised in the least this is how you guys as a country are managing Covid.

That would make the percent per population death rate for COVID:
0.22% USA
0.21% UK
