Everyone staying home and switching from services to goods, which the supply chain wasn't ready for, can and did cause demand-side inflation.

It was about half and half, but that's a lot better than another great recession like 2008!

And of course then there was a war and some fires at chip factories causing supply-side inflation. It's been flat in the last few months though.
