The United States is forcing work to resume despite the epidemic? The current situation of Amazon warehouses is worrying

Yesterday we introduced several European countries where the epidemic is now easing and they are expected to gradually open up in the coming weeks. However, the UK and the US have not yet reached a turning point, the number of confirmed cases is still increasing, and the resumption of work plan is still a long way off.


However, the impact of the epidemic on the US economy is too terrible. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the number of unemployed people in the United States has soared, which has wiped out all the new jobs created after the economic crisis in 2008. It is possible that Trump will force the resumption of work regardless of the epidemic. Unexpectedly, before Trump has even started to act, the governors below can't sit still.


This week, Georgia, the United States, has taken the first step in the country in trying to restart the economy, opening non-essential commercial places such as tattoos, spas and bars, and even announced that high-risk places such as movie theaters will be opened before the end of the month. Has the epidemic in the state been brought under control?

Georgia forced to resume work


After checking the historical data, it was found that the epidemic in Georgia not only showed no signs of improvement, but apart from New York, the center of the epidemic, and its surrounding areas, Georgia is one of the states with the most serious epidemic in the United States.

(The circled area is Georgia)


According to data released by Johns Hopkins University, as of yesterday, Georgia had a total of 21,102 confirmed cases, and the trend of new confirmed cases showed no signs of decreasing, and it is still a high-risk period for new cases.


However, the governor of Georgia is so stubborn that he would rather risk a resurgence of the epidemic than force the resumption of work. Even Trump, who is eager to resume work, can't stand this move. At yesterday's press conference, Trump clearly expressed his opposition to Georgia's decision to resume work.

You must know that Trump has always been eager to resume work immediately. Even he opposed the Georgia government's decision to resume work, which shows that the current epidemic situation in the state is indeed not optimistic. It also shows that the state's economy has bigger problems, so it has to forcibly resume work.


Currently, more than half of the state governments have stated that they are still facing a shortage of medical supplies and cannot resume work in the short term. This will greatly affect the purchasing power of local consumers, but as Amazon sellers, there is another impact that deserves our attention, the current situation of Amazon warehouses.

Amazon warehouse status


While millions of people have to work from home or even lose their jobs, Amazon has expanded hundreds of thousands of jobs to cope with the surge in orders. It is obviously not easy to do epidemic prevention work for hundreds of thousands of employees, but the demand for masks and other supplies is a huge number.


In the past two days, Amazon workers launched a large-scale nationwide strike, demanding that the company provide adequate epidemic prevention protection. This makes us worry that if Amazon warehouses really do not have sufficient epidemic prevention measures and workers suffer large-scale infections, we will not be able to resume replenishment, and the products already in stock may not be shipped out.


After scanning a wave of foreign media reports and interviews, the current situation in Amazon warehouses is not optimistic, and there are many workers walking around without masks.

Some workers said Amazon did not provide them with extra masks.

Only after going to work and undergoing temperature checks can they get the day's quota of masks. This means that workers waiting in line outside the warehouse to be tested before going to work will always be exposed to susceptible environments.


When interviewed by the media, an Amazon employee confessed, "I know this is dangerous. I might get sick or die from pneumonia, but I have bills to pay and I have no choice."


It seems that the situation in the Amazon warehouse is really serious. My brother-in-law, who has a serious businessman mentality, is unwilling to spend a lot of money to strengthen epidemic prevention measures. Anyway, there are many unemployed people outside waiting for this job. If you don’t accept this environment, just leave.


The government is now in urgent need of Amazon's normal operation to provide supplies to the public, and it is impossible for it to come forward to demand rectification or mediation. Therefore, strikes and protests may occur frequently and even intensify for a long time in the future, and may also break out into a nationwide strike. By then, Amazon's transportation capacity will be very worrying, so it is better to ship as soon as possible while it can be shipped now.


Customs clearance time has been greatly extended now. If you are in a hurry to put your products on sale, you can learn about Amazon's official In-Stock function, which allows you to put your products on sale directly while they are in transit.
