Food, especially those of the canned and processed variety, has become more scarce during the pandemic. This is not only due to the panic buying and hoarding that occured at the start of the pandemic, but also due to the limited mobility from quarantine. Less factory workers are helping produce food, thus the supply of processed food in markets has been decreasing. The decrease in the supply of food has become so drastic that some markets even count and limit the amount of food one can purchase.

An affordable internet connection that performs efficiently and consistently is something I find to be needed in our country during this pandemic. Several businesses and schools have to rely on the internet to continue functioning, with business meetings and classes being conducted online instead of psychically. I believe we have reached this point as the internet service providers were not well-equipped to cater their services during a pandemic. Due to the minimal competition faced by internet service providers, there was little reason to advance or innovate their current services from a perspective focused on profit. As such, a stable connection may be unaffordable for most given the current prices for high internet speeds. A good connection is not aided by the increased usage of the internet during the pandemic, with the greater internet traffic hampering decent speeds.
