The announcement is at: http://blog.archive.org/2020/03/24/announcing-a-national-emergency-library-to-provide-digitized-books-to-students-and-the-public/
In short, now people can borrow 10 books instead of 5 and there seem to be no limits on how many people can borrow a book at the same time. The waitlists nearly vanished over the course of the last few days.
