Concerns over slowing the spread of COVID-19 have left many of us living in ways we've never experienced before.
Those who live in areas prone to natural disasters have long grown accustomed to preparing for a long wait before an uncertain all-clear, and those who lived through World War II can recall what it feels like to ration supplies, but there are just as many people to whom this all feels new.
But that's because the technology we enjoy today has filled in a lot of the gaps that once seemed all too apparent.
And now, it seems that the systems made possible through this technology are focusing all efforts on ensuring we can make it through this situation together.
As The Independent reported, this means that most individual sellers won't find their products shipped to Amazon's warehouses until April 5.
Although representatives from Amazon haven't provided an exhaustive list of what products will be prioritized, it's clear that it includes medical supplies.
Given the panic buying-induced toilet paper shortages we're now seeing, we hope that this will be another "high-demand" product that Amazon is hoping to move quickly.
As an Amazon representative told The Independent, "We understand this is a change for our selling partners and appreciate their understanding as we temporarily prioritise these products for customers".
