But, as I've repeatedly said, the country could never survive a national emergency. Too many going "sovereign citizen" to prove they don't need the government putting everyone else at risk.

It absolutely is a legitimate stance, and it is one that is more common here because of our individualistic culture. The US is a place where we are "me" centered. I'm not making a judgement call on this type of culture, just stating this is the way it is. Is it a helpful attitude in a situation like this? No. This is how we get sold out toilet paper and people doing dumb shit. It has its pros in some situations, this just isn't one of them, but it's still a legitimate position.
