Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 05/20/2020, including: High e-commerce demand is overwhelming shippers, and that's forcing FedEx to limit the number of items shipped from Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond, Hobby Lobby, and about two dozen other retailers. When the coronavirus erupted in the United States, it triggered quarantines, travel curbs and business shutdowns. Many economists predicted a V-shaped journey for the economy: A sharp drop, then a quick bounce-back as the virus faded and the economy regained health. Now, as President Donald Trump and many Republicans press to reopen the economy, some experts see an ominous risk: That a too-hasty relaxation of social distancing could ignite a resurgence of COVID-19 cases by fall, sending the economy back into lock down. The result: a W-shaped disaster in which a tentative recovery would sink back into a “double-dip” recession before rebounding eventually. The pandemic isn’t just going to change how we live—it’s going to dictate where we live, too.
