I don't understand what is expected here. Nobody can get masks or sanitizer. What little there is is getting redirected to hospitals. It's not even a money thing.

This person is advocating boycotting Amazon and going to local grocery stores instead. What the hell? How is that better?

amazon will survive this easily, your local shops won't.

Wash your hands, don't touch your face and keep your distance. Basically what we're doing in Europe for 3 weeks.

There are also grocery delivery services that are not Amazon if you actually care about local grocery stores.
