Money supply and money demand(which is loosely what prices are.) are linked but not a perfect ratio, such that a 10% increase in supply won't perfectly follow with a 10% increase in demand.
Current inflation being "weird" is because there are many simultaneous causes here. Covid money isn't the only or primary one.

But even then the others aren't labeled with exchange rates in mind so it makes no sense. If I take a dollar and put it in equities I lose 25 pct. If I take a dollar and put it in dollars I have the same investment I started with. If I take a foreign currency and invest in a dollar I may make a gain, but if I take a foreign currency and invest it in us bonds or us assets I lose an amount that isn't the number pictured here.
