What a terrible headline! Very misleading – the headline sounds like “Amazon heedlessly risks employees’ lives in drive to cash in on lockdowns.” A more honest (though less lurid) headline would have been “Amazon’s Coronavirus Rate Better Than US Population.” But that information is down in the second to last paragraph.
Agree! Not to mention the fact they have been on the frontlines because Amazon has a been a lifeline to those of us stuck at home during this pandemic. Nobody else could scale up as quickly as they did.
How many Amazon workers died or ended up with permanent medical complications? My guess: almost none, since most Amazon workers are younger. In which case, yawn.
Coming up on Insurance Journal next January: “Amazon Employees Get the Flu!”
