When she took up the tracking project, she would get about five new cases a day. Amazon notifies workers through text messages or robotic calls if there's been a coronavirus case at their location. If Amazon says there have been “additional cases,” she counts that as two, an imperfect system that likely leads to an undercount. According to Jumpp’s tally, there have been more than 1,600 cases at Amazon warehouses. Inspired by warehouse workers, Katie Doan started tracking cases at Amazon-owned Whole Foods in April, searching Reddit, Twitter and news articles when she wasn't stocking shelves at a Whole Foods in Testin, California.
