Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that Amazon keeps low inventories for efficiency reasons, leaving the company vulnerable to supply shortages. Already the quarantine in China has disrupted some Amazon supply chains. It seems unlikely that Amazon can keep up with the current level of deliveries, let alone handle a surge in demand for staples needed in a widespread quarantine.
