[Electronics-Talk] Accessibility of Barnes and Noble for Thursday, April 2, 2020 - Volume 749

Besides, now is not a good time to order anything from Amazon because 
their warehouses are in chaos as workers are falling ill to the Corona 
virus and others are refusing to report to work unless they are provided 
with proper protective gear.  One whistle blower who spilled the beans 
on their unsafe labor practices was fired.  It's no longer business as 
usual, and many items wmay take weeks to ship.
