I mean, here in Brooklyn you literally cannot order AmazonFresh. No delivery slots no matter how far in the future you scroll. And it's been this way for at least a couple of days now. So makes sense.
Same in Seattle

It’s still awaiting peer review, but initial research suggest 24 hours of stability on cardboard, 2-3 days on plastic and metals: https://www.wired.com/story/how-long-does-the-coronavirus-la... https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.09.20033217v...
Out of an abundance of caution I've just been leaving packages in my garage for a week before opening them. If you have the space and can order stuff a week before you need it, I suggest this.
A great suggestion, I do this also. It helps to cleanup packaging in one fell swoop as well.

#43Where is the comment here on billionaire taxes? Literally Amazon is the only company because of which I feel comfortable right now sitting in my house vs. panic buying.
You likely couldn't panic buy anyways, stores are limiting what you can buy. Online and offline.

#44Will these workers get paid sick leave and health care?
Maybe not if they're seasonal, but if they're part-time or full-time hires, then yes.

#45We notice delivery on Amazon is out to 3-4 days now (on prime) and were not sure if it was due to supply or demand. Seems like demand.
I noticed my Amazon orders earlier today were scheduled way out(I've been practically next day on everything Amazon Prime recently) and it didn't even occur to me that it was tied the panic buying.

Are your options also today, tomorrow, day after; or can you see beyond that?
Not parent comment, but I was able to look at next week, but there were no open slots there either.
We just got a message that said "No delivery windows are available. All remaining delivery windows for today and tomorrow are currently unavailable. Check back for updates or try again tomorrow"

#47I hope they're finding ways to help keep them safe in the process. It would be a huge benefit for people to be able to order things online, but not if the warehouses themselves become cesspools of transmission.

I got groceries today in a large metro city. Only thing limited was milk.

Another comment here says all Fresh delivery has been stopped at the moment. I assume it has something to do with not being able to stock the store fast enough, let alone deliver it.

HEB has a laundry list of things being limited[1].
