Ask HN: Has anyone noticed Amazon Prime become much slower?
I loved in Atlanta and I noticed the prime guarantee delivery for most of prime purchase is now 4 days. Anyone knows why it might be the case?

Amazon warned it’s experiencing Prime delivery days and running out of stock of popular household items amid the coronavirus outbreak.

I would also imagine that contract or by-the-box delivery drivers are staying away in times like these. They've established a fund for drivers impacted by this all, but that labor segment is hustle-and-split.
Amazon is up 289% YoY right now, give them some slack.
By what yardstick?
