So, here's the upshot of the video I just tweeted out:
1. Stakepools will NOT begin block production until the 4th epoch (Aug. 13 instead of Aug. 8).
2. There will be no staking rewards until Aug. 23 instead of the former Aug. 18.

Alright, folks, there is a new plan straight from Charles H. Despite releasing a communication earlier this week that stakepools would start to produce blocks in the third epoch, IOG has now decided to delay that by one epoch:

Today, in the next entry of my current blog series, I examine the role of pledge in Shelley-era staking and the important implications it has for the operation of the network and your earnings as a delegator. Check it out:

Input-Output Global has decided to move ahead with lowering the decentralization parameter from d=1 to d=0.9 at the start of the next epoch. There had been some discussion to delay, but they are moving ahead with the original plan. Stakepools will start making blocks next epoch!

There will be another release of Daedalus "later this week" (presumably 2.0.2) that should fix the problem with restoring ITN rewards. No exact ETA available.

I just want to give a shout-out and thank you to the moderators at the r/cardano subreddit. They re-instated my post from earlier this morning that was auto-filtered by a bot because I have a new-ish account. Thank you! Here is a link to that post:

There is apparently some discussion happening today within IOG about potentially pushing back the decrement of the decentralization parameter, d, to a later epoch than the originally planned third epoch. I'll let you know what I hear about it.

The patched version of Daedalus, release 2.0.1, came out yesterday and fixed the issue of not displaying all the stakepools. However, the functionality to restore ITN rewards is not yet implemented. I've heard the team is working on it, but no official word on when it will come.

Also, ITN rewards will be delivered at the end of this current epoch. If you staked in the ITN, get ready to receive your new ada in about 30 minutes!!

A new release of Daedalus is coming later today to fix the issue where many stakepools are not showing in the delegation center. If you cannot find your favorite pool, that you know is registered, be sure to keep checking for the new wallet release and install it.
