Inflation is mostly driven from a higher demand for goods and services and with the pandemic slowing down commerce, there is a huge under supply for those goods and services. I believe demand will even out for nonessentials but unfortunately essential prices will continue rising until the supply chain accommodates the increased demand. Which could take years.
