My tax return was accepted on April 18. I have not received my refund by DD as yet? Anyone else experiencing delayed refunds?

There are many posts on this forums of filers who have waited a long time for their refunds.

Unfortunately TurboTax gets no information about the status of your refund.
In normal times, the IRS says that most filers get their refunds within 21 days from the time their tax return is accepted.
Many returns are taking longer now since the IRS did not process returns for a while and there is now a big backlog of unprocessed returns.
The IRS has started reopening offices and processing centers and are starting to process mailed returns again after not processing any for several weeks.
They are now taking phone calls with a limited staff but it's hard to get through.

If you efiled your return, have you confirmed that the return was submitted by TurboTax and accepted by the IRS?
