I don't think this has *that* much to do with covid. There were some
formula recalls due to bacterial contaminations which have hurt supply. Probably the other shortages we've experienced during the pandemic has triggered more panic buying and hoarding than we might have seen otherwise.
The CT Scan dye shortage mentioned elsewhere in this thread is because it's pretty much exclusively manufactured in Shanghai which is shut down by the Chinese government. I'm not sure what we can do to stop china from shutting down Shanghai, but hopefully this experience will cause companies to de-risk their single source points of failure in places like China, India and SEA.
