No, people were bored, stuck at home and started trying home baking. It was doing the rounds on social media. So there was suddenly a massive demand for flour and yeast. No panic, just a simple fad that they couldn't supply enough to meet demand. I read that in the UK at least the actual problem was they had enough flour, but it was all in industrial bags and they did not have enough packaging to rebag it. Actually another victim of just-in-time supply lines, rather than any 'panic'.
