> In the past few days, workers tested positive for covid-19 at Amazon warehouses and shipping facilities across the country.
> workers complain Amazon hasn’t provided them with enough information about the spread of virus in their facilities
> [a worker] only found out there was an infected co-worker after confronting a human resources staffer in the break room
> Some workers complained that Amazon pushes them to meet the per-hour rate at which it wants orders fulfilled, a practice that they worry discourages safe sanitary practices such as washing hands after a cough or sneeze. Others have complained about “stand-up” meetings, where workers stand shoulder-to-shoulder at the start of each shift.
All of these support the notion that working in a warehouse is risky during the pandemic.
In any case, how does the proportion of people who contracted the coronavirus at work to total number of positive cases so far have to do with anything? If your hypothesis is true (and you've given no evidence for that), it could very likely be because of the lockdowns we've had so far, which have prevented people from going to work in situations where they could've gotten it. Regardless, the proportion has nothing to do with how risky working in a warehouse is in the first place!
