Right now, a lot of people are sitting indoors quarantined from the world, stocked up on supplies and watching way too much Netflix. Some might even feel the impulse to order goods to their doorstep. So, they fire up their Amazon Prime accounts and order some quarantine trinkets.

In the Before Times, that whole process seemed completely normal. But behind the push of the buy button, an entire workforce of Amazon workers, some with limited or no health insurance and no union protecting their employment, are struggling through their orders knowing the virus is either in their fulfillment centers or is about to be. In fact, it already happened in New York City at two of Amazon’s warehouses: Workers fell ill with COVID-19, employees were sent out of the premises, the factory was then sprayed, and three hours later it was business as usual.
