Production has been heavily disrupted due to so many places being in lockdown and so many firms being either short staffed or on skeleton staff. So yes there are supply issues. And panic buying has only exacerbated things.

The mass move to working from home has also created a number of IT related problems.

And things are probably still due to get worse. With no pubs to drown our sorrows now either!
