Yes they can, by the time politicians got involved, it was too late (the panic was already happening).
And if the Government had any credibility telling people not to panic would count for something. Similarly if people had faith that the Government could intervene for the purposes of alleviating any problems.

However the Government lacks credibility and almost nobody believes they could resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe. Entirely rational actors are going out and topping up “just in case”.
