Here's a link where you can get a member of this species:

It sounds great for my area, as a dwarf mulberry. Hardy to zone 4. 6 to 8 feet tall (or 8 to 10 feet tall depending on which part of the page you look at). 3 to 5 pounds of fruit. It's self-fertile. The young leaves are probably useful, too, however (although, I'm not sure if they're safe, considering I'm not very familiar with the species).

Morus bombycis is the same as Morus australis.

This one looks promising, as it's supposed to be very sweet, and have fruit as large as regular cherries. It's also very cold-hardy (to zone 3), and it's self-fertile. Said to produce 10-15lbs of fruit. It says it's Prunus fruticosa x Prunus cerasus, in which case I'm surprised it's not more sour than a sour cherry (sour cherries are supposed to be a cross between Prunus fruticosa and sweet cherries, I believe).

The same website mentions several other kinds of bush cherries.

Note that some of the hybrids involve cherries, and some involve nectarines (it's not just plum-apricot crosses with each other).

I saw the biggest rainbow I'd ever seen on Wednesday, in the late afternoon or early evening, after some rain. It was really thick, and bright, with lots of stripes, and it was a full rainbow, too (I didn't notice it being a double rainbow, though, although, I've seen doubles for smaller, thinner ones).

The article also talks about how too much social distancing is just delaying the problem, rather than helping to solve it in and of itself. A balance, or a vaccine, or such, seems to be needed.
