11. It's pretty simple really

People have been sitting at home because of the pandemic, they've not spent money on travel. So with the extra money, they bought stuff online at higher rates. That depleted the supply chain. Coupled with some Covid based factory pauses and shutdowns, you have what we have. And it's far from a crisis, it's merely some inconvenience.
