And, you guessed it: It's due to COVID-19-related hoarding. I hadn't realized there was a shortage until I found my preferred yeast (LeSaffre Saf-Instant Yeast, Gold), which I buy in bulk, is no longer available locally and then discovered I couldn't buy any other brand within 50 miles of where I live, either.
Who knew there were still so many scratch bakers around? But, yanno, that's good news despite the yeast shortage.
