This is really going to hurt businesses -- I just went to order a replacement serial programming cable I need for a project and it's saying April 21 (and it shows as in-stock too!).

I can probably hack the cable to get by ... but as soon as I need something I can't hack/fix/cannibalize or get elsewhere, then I'm screwed.

Sadly, any local competition has either gone out of business (Radio Shack, maybe Fry's) or is closed due to the lockdown.

Hopefully, Digikey/Mouser will keep going ...
