Answer 1

No Need for Panic Buying
Not long ago, a major earthquake hit Japan, which not only led to the explosion in a nuclear power plant, but also a wave of buying salt in China.
Why did people rush to buy salt? One reason is that many people believed rumors that iodized salt could prevent the hurt of radiation. As a result, they rushed to buy salt. Other people worried about an increase of price so they followed. Another reason is the lack of common sense among the public. As we know, it is not helpful enough to guard against radiation even by taking larger amounts of salt than usual.
So in my opinion, panic buying of salt is absolutely unnecessary.
