Is the Pandemic Response to the Virus to Blame?

i hear the those blamed for inflation a lot more than i hear about any else really. In some ways, it would actually be more comforting if you were only seeing high inflation in the us. Because then you could have some confidence that eventually we would import tha disinflation from the rest of the world. And i think that sort of should color both how we read the pandemic response, but also our concern about what we do in forward.
