'I'm worried that I have infected 1000 people in the last three days': Amazon workers reveal all the reasons why they're afraid to go to work

. One Phoenix, Arizona associate who wished to keep their identity a secret, said his anxieties over transmitting the coronavirus from his facility to his family has made it almost impossible for him to work.

"We need a stable and sterile supply chain for the customers and the workers," the 37-year-old said. "[Amazon is] putting a lot of people at risk because these things move at an exponential pace. And that means that it can hurt a lot of people in little to no time." However, due to her age and lack of pre-existing conditions, Mercuri's local hospital refused to administer a test. Without enough proof that she could have the novel virus, she has been forced to take off work without any pay.

"Going to work is risky," Mercuri said, adding that her mother who lives with her is at risk of falling seriously ill if she contracted Covid-19. "It's a scary calculation I make every day." While her Amazon facility has successfully revamped their break rooms so that employees can stay six feet apart, their work stations are still so close people have accidentally coughed and sneezed on her.
