I usually get 5+ per day-sometimes many more.
I haven't received one since Tuesday. Guess the virus is impacting them also.

Absolutely. I hadn't noticed it until I read your post. I too get at least 5 or more a day. Haven't had one in days now. What a great side effect!!!

We have only been getting about 1-2 a day! And not every day. It's nice!

I hadn't noticed either but you are right. I've only had maybe 2 in the last week. With the decrease in political calls since our early May primary, we are only getting DH's business calls which I expect to decrease this month and personal ones.

Yes! Interesting. I'm assuming because call enters are most likely closed?

Yes and it’s glorious! Guess all the stay at home orders mean that the spammers can’t sit in tiny office spaces calling number after number now.
This is one of those happy side effects to this stupid virus.

Yes! By a ton. I was just mentioning it to DH. Why is that? Is it because you can file lawsuits for spam calls?

I get the same one every day sometimes twice a day from the same company but numbers from all over the US. Hi, this is Healthcare 2020, and we noticed that you requested some information about... No, I didn't. The only way to get off of their list is to actually call. I keep blocking the numbers to no avail.

My calls are almost always recorded messages. Not real people.

We get a lot at work (dr’s office in a converted home) and this morning I got 2 calls from spammers working from home! Seriously I could hear the children in the background when you normally hear other adults and one had a baby that started to cry.

Mine are actually ramping up. I was getting at least one a day. Lately I'm getting up to 4a day. Thankfully my Pixel alerts me by putting "suspected spam caller" and gives me the option to report it as spam and block it.

Yes! I still have my US mobile number activated because I use it via WiFi for US calls. One night, I got 24 (yes, twenty-four!) calls from “Apple Support”. The jokes on them because my Do Not Disturb goes on at 9pm and they all went to voice mail. Ha ha ha!

My workplace is getting a lot of recorded calls and a lot of hangups. I don't normally answer the phone, so I don't know if this is less or more than usual, but it's enough to be annoying.
