The Canon EF to RF adapters seem to be out of stock with all vendors.  Any ideas as to what is going on?  COVID? Redesign? Unexpectedly high demand?

Yes, my R5 arrived last Friday.  Adapter backordered.  The 100-500 I ordered is not expected until sometime in September.  So, I can't test the camera as I don't have a lens to attach. Oh well!

It's likely just high demand from the R5 release they aren't able to meet yet. I was fortunate enough to grab one from a small electronics shop that doesn't even specialize in cameras. You might try looking outside of the usual camera stores.

If you are okay with one with drop-in filters (not the control ring), amazon seems to have one that can be delivered within a week - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H4LJVL4?pf_rd_r=JRQZFNJP9WBDNN1MNWFC&pf_rd_p=edaba0ee-c2fe-4124-9f5d-b31d6b1bfbee
