If Amazon wanted to win immediate trust and lasting goodwill, they should secure suppliers for "Amazon's choice" cotton surgical masks, providing priority service to hospital systems in regions of need, but also (publicly), their own warehouse and delivery workforce. They have the leverage, analytics, and supply chain to make it happen.

Edit: We need to provide enough masks so that people don't feel like they are depriving the hospital system. Also, we need more corporations in America to step up and set an example, protecting their workers and customers. People should stay home, but when they have to venture out (or are needed for work), they should be wearing masks!

I'm pretty sure cotton masks offer little to no protection. What you need is a n95 respirator.

It will help if everyone wears it. The asymptotic infected will reduce their spread as it will stop them spreading it.

This is the main reason some conuntries, such as the Czech Republic, made masks mandatory in public.

Also if you are protecting others from your ilness, a sinpler home made mask is enough to greetly limit possible spread.
