Another bearded guy comes up with my name. Weird, I knew a guy named Shannon in high school.
that one must be associated with glamour photo keywords. It came up for me as well, but he had a different face.

Amazon has halted all delivery on what they consider nonessential until April 23rd.And you just got a $600/week raise on top of it after that bill passes tomorrow.
And a $1200 signing bonus!
Now buy lots of stuff, keep the economy going. Amazon delivers.

I did notice a 3rd party delivery I ordered is going to be a month out, but didn't see the advisory. The outdoor light I ordered shipped quickly

No one has it easy during the COVID-19 pandemic, but Amazon has it particularly hard. Google, Facebook, and Netflix all deliver their services over the internet, and a healthy amount of that work can be done from home. Amazon, by contrast, has taken on the job of delivering physical goods to our homes. At a time when tens of millions of Americans are isolated in their homes, Amazon has become a critical lifeline delivering food and supplies. But over the past several days, Amazon has begun to struggle under the weight.
The most significant news so far came Sunday night, when Jason Del Rey broke the news that Amazon’s famous two-day shipping for Prime members would now be delayed up to a month for “non-essential” items. Del Rey writes:
The company also suspended Prime Pantry, a service for getting rapid delivery of discounted grocery and household items, amid a surge in demand. And — at the request of local governments — it downgraded the quality of streaming on Prime Video in Europe in an effort to reduce the strain on the internet.
To be clear, Amazon has nothing to be ashamed of here. The company is navigating an extremely difficult period fraught with unpleasant trade-offs, and for the most part its supply chain has held up. The crisis has also spurred the company to (finally) recognize the everyday heroism of the workers in its distribution and delivery networks, who continue to put themselves at risk to keep America stocked up with necessities. As of Saturday, the company increased wages by $2 an hour — and is offering double pay to workers who spend more than 40 hours on the job each week. And on Monday, the company finally agreed to provide paid time off for tens of thousands of warehouse employees.................................

At least Americans can still get non-essential items. (Which is to say, items outside the following departments: baby products; health and household items; beauty and personal care; groceries; and industrial, scientific, and pet supplies.) That’s not true in France or Italy any more, Krystal Hu reported at Reuters. The company has temporarily stopped taking orders for non-essential items that are shipped through its fulfillment service while it focuses on getting more important items to customers.
The company also suspended Prime Pantry, a service for getting rapid delivery of discounted grocery and household items, amid a surge in demand.

I ordered some TP from Amazon a couple weeks ago. Just in case.
Delivery date: 4/7 to 4/28
I ordered a little more a week later.
Delivery date: 5/7 to 5/25
I ordered a little more today.
Delivery date: June
So I think I'm unaffected by their current delay.
Hopefully when it comes things will be different.
Who the fuck knows...
