I heard a report today regarding employees at Amazon. Several have complained that they are working in cose contact, have no protection, and some people they worked with have tested positive. Some employees have left because of it.

Remember that when you receive a package you ordered from Amazon.

No wonder these places are hiring. It is not only due to demand, but to workers getting sick and healthy ones leaving before they get sick.
