Happier pets!
A random observation.....

Presumably,  since more people are home nowadays, I seem to notice more people out walking their dogs.

Jus' sayin'

I read somewhere that Hawaii's trend for hospitalization shows that we've reached the peak ahead of the projections.  Many starts are still trending upward in terms of hospitalizations though.  Also something about there's a "next wave" expected from Europe to impact the US.  The "second wave" has already happened in Hokkaido and when rules on migrant workers were relaxed in Singapore.  Hopefully the healthcare systems in those area are now more robust and are better able to handle the resurgence. 

Personally, I think the resurgence will happen quite a bit in the US.  Just hopefully by then the healthcare system is shored up (more people, equipment, procedures, etc), treatments are better known or developed, other screening measures in place, etc to limit the effects.

you can check out Hawaii and the other "starts" here
https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/hawaii
they also predict a date when the state can start easing restrictions
the hospitals here are using this data, and I am pretty sure this is what the state govt is using too...

States like NY are already standing up their list of excuses for why they can't open the stores there.  Cuomo wants the Feds (Trump) to provide personnel and equipment support.

Didn't we already give federal aid to all the states declaring national emergencies?  Now they want us to give them money for ENDING the emergency? 

Really?

they asking for money for testing, which is part of the criteria to open up

“I get that we have to fund airlines, small businesses—Yeah, I agree 100%,
but you also have to fund state governments,” Cuomo said in his press
conference on Saturday.

When you fund a state government, you’re funding small business, hospitals,
and schools anyway, he added. “If you want [states] to reopen, we need funding.”

I experienced pneumonia when I was in the military.
Scary stuff. I was hospitalized next to the ICU where people
died. I heard it all day long, for way too many days.
Watching that when you are 18 makes an impression.
This new stuff doesn't scare me.
What scares me this is the price our kids and grand kids
will pay for Democrat stupidity.

As COVID-19 has spread, we have seen an increase in people shopping online.
To serve our customers while also helping to ensure the safety of our associates,
we have changed our logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and third-
party seller processes to prioritize stocking and delivering items that are a higher
priority for our customers. This has resulted in some of our delivery promises being
longer than usual. We're also hiring over 100,000 positions across the U.S. to enable
us to provide this vital service to people everywhere, especially to those, like the
elderly, who are most vulnerable.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration made a big revelation on Tuesday (April 21),
announcing it has authorized the first at-home coronavirus diagnostic test that allows
individuals to collect and mail their samples to a laboratory.

Reuters reported that the company conducts as many as 65,000 tests per day and is
able to offer results within two to four days.

Amazon's policy:

I've had to cancel a pump for my washing machine and order from another site.  Amazon had that order for 2 weeks, had not shipped it yet.  It was showing May 15-30 for estimated delivery.

Same for a product I needed to fix a gasket.

I guess popping the heat spreader off the top of my Intel CPU and replacing the exhaust hose on a portable AC unit are higher priority than clean clothes and a working vehicle. 

Each order that wasn't delayed took less than a week to arrive and only 1-2 days to ship out.

 

I'm not sure they have their priorities straight.

I placed the new order for the washer pump on the 19th late at night.  It shipped today and should arrive by Saturday, Apr 25th.

We had to order bedding and some items related to my wife’s disability and they all arrived in less than a week. In most cases 3-4 days. However, I ordered a new phone case on the 19th and it is due to arrive on May 11.    I know its not a big deal, but still. Three weeks is ridiculous for something supposedly in stock. Also, I ordered a book on the 10th and it is supposed to arrive by May 7. It’s just a book. Again, almost a month for something supposedly in stock. In the case of the book it was shipped right away. It is the PO that is taking so long to deliver. My phone case has not shipped yet.

I really want this book so I’ll wait for it. But I’m thinking of cancelling the phone case. This lockdown will be over before it arrives.
