They really should have been doing temperature checks a month ago. Amazon is pretty critical infrastructure right now. Many people would be up a creek if Amazon had to shut down.

I can see a parallel universe where the military shows up and "fortifies" critical supply chain locations like this, and they're the ones with the temperature checks and gate security.

Not sure we're there yet. But I keep thinking about how, "given the lag time in this disease, appropriate response should look like an overreaction."

That's a great point. The impact of the virus is going to be much worse than it could have been because it's behavior exploits some of our cognitive biases.
