The rush of shoppers has buoyed industry stock prices even as much of the market has faltered. But it has also strained supply chains, resulting in picked-over shelves, long lines, harried staff and reduced hours.

How the coronavirus outbreak might affect you or your family depends heavily on where you work and live and the generosity of your employer’s benefits.

Albertsons spokeswoman Melissa Hill said in an email that the chain was “not experiencing problems with staffing but are always looking for people to fill positions, and there is certainly a need in the stores right now.” The Consumer Brands Assn., the industry group representing most major packaged goods companies in the U.S., is asking lawmakers to raise the number of hours that truck drivers are allowed to drive from 11 to 13 to deal with increased demand, and is pushing for expedited approval processes for consumer goods at ports and stricter enforcement of anti-price gouging laws.
