Cover Story: As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic spread globally after its outbreak in China in early 2020, it became possible to monitor how patterns of consumer behaviour and the influence of the media during this pandemic compare to those exhibited during historic crises and shock events. Using consumer behaviour models and theories as the basis of our discussion, we compare the current COVID-19 pandemic to previous crises and events, including the 2002–04 SARS outbreak, 2011 Christchurch earthquake, and 2017 Hurricane Irma. Our examination focuses on how COVID-19 has affected four key presentations of the preliminary effects of coronavirus, including panic buying and herd mentality behaviours, changes to patterns of discretionary consumer spending as defined by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and the influence of global media on these changing consumer behaviours.
