So I go online and sure enough, 9mm ammo, if you can find it in stock, starts around $1/round. That's incredible.

Is this mega hoarding, or Covid supply chain issues? What say the experts?

Prices are insane. Paying $1/rd for less common name brand JHP is one thing. Paying $1/rd for 9mm plinking is insane.

My assumption is that this is hoarding based on the upcoming election and exacerbated by the social issues and rioting/looting stuff that was happening.
