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?

It's expected that Amazon would protect their workers by being transparent about the situation, implementing special procedures in warehouses to prevent the infection from spreading between workers, offering workers paid time leave when they show symptoms.

They could, for instance, limit the orders they accept to base necessities like food, cleaning supplies, etc.

The line for essential is blurry. If I need a keyboard and a monitor to work from home and Amazon won't sell it, I'll unfortunately just go somewhere else, putting a different company's employee at risk.
