I suspected Amazon would do well in this crisis, and this development confirms it.

My elderly neighbors, for example, are now ordering their groceries online and having them dumped on their doorstep.

Lucky them. Amazon in my area hasn't had an available delivery slot in almost a week.

Mine had a few slots open days later then unceremoniously canceled the order hours after they were supposed to arrive.

Same in LA. I got through by checking in at midnight. Took 4 days to get groceries, but almost everything showed up (like 57/59 items)

> I suspected Amazon would do well...

Until people camping at home start getting sick, with their common factor being Amazon Fresh delivery.

Unlikely but plausible. I rather order raw stuff from amazon and do my sanitizing rather than order food from an unknown kitchen, delivered by a driver who was in contact with god knows how many people. Either ingredient delivered home, or I will go out and buy things myself which is probably riskier.
