I did find two fat Rib Eyes which were really good.

Seems like any food item that has a shelf life gets hoarded.

I actually read an article yesterday that said that most likely even when the Pandemic is declared "over" when the US transmissions get very low, low case numbers, etc., the panic buying will not likely stop because people will fear a second wave this fall, etc. So if anything the hoarding will get even worse.

There are some calls so far for the government to invoke the defense production act as far as toilet paper & cleaning supplies, but they were debating if it could be actually used on industries like toilet paper factories, food companies, etc....
