They had the resources to do a better job and to do it earlier. They dragged their feet for some reason and people paid for it. It's why employees were protesting: not because they didn't want to work, but because they wanted to work safely. Some warehouses had insufficient safety practices or didn't have enough access to things like soap, gloves and hand sanitizer.

They did spend a lot of money on a propaganda campaign encouraging workers to keep working and not take time off because they were "heroes" on the front lines saving lives. Gotta remember what Amazon's actual priorities are.
