Alaska has switched to all-mail voting for its primaries, and the deadline for sending in ballots has been extended from March 24 to April 10. Wyoming, which cancelled its in-person caucus and is now running a ranked choice voting mail-in primary, has extended its deadline from March 20 to April 17. April 4 was once a reasonably significant date in the primary, with over 100 delegates assigned then. As of now, only Hawaii (worth 24 delegates) will finish voting on that day.
April 28 also appears to be losing some significance; Rhode Island has postponed its primary from then to June 2.

It also seems inconceivable that New York will vote on 28th April.
A few states will likely vote in May but almost everything now is going to be pushed back till June.

Oregon (scheduled for May 19) is already entirely vote-by-mail (though ballots can be dropped off in person). It remains to be seen how quickly the necessary arrangements can be made in other states.

Wyoming, which cancelled its in-person caucus and is now running a ranked choice voting mail-in primary, has extended its deadline from March 20 to April 17. Just how many states are still doing caucuses now? Could this be the last year of them?

Just how many states are still doing caucuses now? Could this be the last year of them? The outright caucuses are (obviously) Iowa, Nevada, American Samoa, North Dakota, Northern Marianas and Guam, whilst Wyoming was a mix of caucus and primary. The Republicans hold a caucus in Kentucky where the Democrats hold a primary. 2016 was probably the beginning of the end for the caucus with a number of states like Minnesota abandoning them for primaries. The combination of the Iowa farce and coronavirus has probably ended them on the mainland at least.

Delaware's moved its primary (scheduled for the 28th of April) to the 2nd of June. Hawaii has cancelled in-person voting in its party-run primary and instructed primary voters to enroll for mail-in voting by the 4th of April, with further details pending. Presumably, the primary itself (also scheduled for April 4) will be postponed, though as a smaller-scale, party-run affair, it may not be pushed back into June.

I totally don't get this issue with this clip. First, there's obviously a long transmission delay (1-2s) between the two speakers, which leads to the dis-jointed nature and continuous false-starts; and second, the point he makes about Trump being like a yoyo and impossible to understand is entirely true. How is either of these a sign of "cognitive decline"?

I suspect not (and also heavily and clunkily edited; I wonder whether the original bears any resemblance?

You only have to do a quick search of Youtube to see the Biden-haters about.
I thought his impersonation of President T was just great.

It is bizarre..can people seriously not see how unhinged is the behaviour of President Trump in hos oress conferences, interrupting experts to make chrap poibts or presenting fallacious claims? The USA needs to get a grip on their Chief Executive

The Venn diagram of the people who think Biden isn't suitable to be president because he pronounced a name wrong and the people who think Trump/Bernie* are the most intelligent beings ever to have walked the earth and never have said anything stupid themselves, is a circle. You do wonder what planet these people are on. They're ok with the fact that Trump can't speak in coherent sentences, they're ok that he can't spell two letter words, that he mispronounces a ton of words every day, they're ok with the fact that he doesn't understand grammar. They don't even mind that he really does think windmills cause cancer and that they kill all the birds. This is fine. Video emerges from 1991 where Joe Biden mispronounces the word 'Tnettenba' and hes clearly got dementia and/or too dumb to be president. *delete depending on ideology.
