It'd be nice if CBS did drop the last two episodes of the season at once. It's not as if they have to worry about it affecting their Nielsen ratings or advertising or anything.

These people crack me up
That dude looks familiar, but I can't quite place him.
Here's the thing about that (and any other argument to release stuff early) - what then?
This is going to go on for ages - weeks, certainly; months, probably; possibly even a year or more - and production of new episodes & shows is already winding down, so any drought of new stuff is going to go on longer than the actual pandemic.
tl;dr: If they rush everything out "to take our minds off the virus stuff", there will be nothing new for most of the duration OF "the virus stuff."
And this is what that tweet looks like now:These people crack me up

Shooting for DSC S3 is wrapped. Post-Production is a different question. Most of it is probably done but all of it can't be.
I honestly don’t think the pandemic will effect S3 of DSC. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they brought the release date up. Filming a done and post production has been underway for nearly a month. That kind of stuff can be “done from home”. It’s not like they are working on set or location with hundreds of people.
The S31 show on the other hand may be pushed back. Considering Picard S1 is nearly over, it would seem stupid to push filming of it back to fit in the S31 show.
Depending on how long this lasts, we likely won’t see Picard S2 until mid-late 2021. Discovery S4 may not air until 2022 either.

Post-production doesn't really need a large crew of people working in one location, so I would think it can get done.
That said, it's the last live-action Trek we'll see for awhile now. Maybe we'll get a second season of Lower Decks reasonably fast instead.
Where are the log entries?

Well, as a 3d guy.. For disco S3.. I do hope they have the Cgi done already, because the virus Can affect them as well.. as it, if you can't get in to the office, these files are HUGE, and usually can't be done "At Home" but in a pinch you could probably do some work at home, but they have render farms, which need to be looked after, etc.
And this is what that tweet looks like now:
And now they’re yelling PHOTOSHOP at any screen caps and blocking people who bring it up.

That username checks out.
I think it makes sense to not have log entries narrating the episode. It strengthens the idea that Picard's no longer in Starfleet and being aboard La Sirena is not a return to the old days of the Enterprise.

Can't have been done by this point is what I meant. But yeah, everyone can focus on what portion of the process they're working on in separate locations. And as long as they can coordinate with each other and share files, it'll be finished.
Hell, many episodes of the Berman Era didn't even have opening stardates. Just cold starts right in the middle of some sort of action. No stardates being mentioned isn't a new thing.
Imagine if an episode started with Picard's voice-over log as the camera followed him around from behind as he strolled about La Sirena. Then he'd reach the dining room where all the others are having breakfast, with Soji, Elnor and Jurati looking at him with the most bewildered and confused expressions imaginable, while Raffi and Rios would just roll their eyes and shake their heads with annoyed huffs. Then the camera would cut to Picard from the front and it would turn out he's holding a recorder and was narrating his own personal log IRL the whole time.
Since it's 2399 the stardates would have "76" prefixes to begin with. We're probably not missing anything that sounds really new except for the numbers being so high.
