Which makes sense give the vaccine rollout and lessening of pandemic restrictions.

Did you read the article? The problems actually started before the pandemic.

Yes and we're exacerbated by the pandemic. The article said mills lowered production assuming there would be reduced demand during the pandemic but there was increased because people were stuck at home doing projects.

Now that the pandemic waining and people are heading back out, is it not safe to assume some of that demand will be subsiding?
