I'm not sure why that makes it okay to add to that population? Amazon has the resources to temporarily cover paid leave until they can guarantee safe conditions in their warehouses for employees. Regions that have prematurely relaxed their virus controls have seen new outbreaks, the same could happen in warehouses. It's in everyone's best interest for Amazon to offer paid leave until their workplaces have been proven to be safe, which is going to take a bit even after all the appropriate measures are in place.

The safety net is by far the better way to address this, it's a drop in the bucket relative to the total cost of the safety net.

Amazon appears to think that your "until" condition is here now, per the safety measures they purport to be taking.
