Curtis Bay, Maryland -- Saturday, March 28, 2020

Maurice Baze takes a cigarette break while delivery packages in suburban Baltimore, Maryland. Baze said his workload of deliveries was exceptionally high for this time of the year.

From Sebastian Herrera’s story: “As government orders to stay at home have taken hold around the U.S., Amazon order volumes have shot up to levels akin to holiday season, employees said. Usually, the company has months to prepare such an uptick in volume. During the pandemic, it has had weeks, and the strain is showing in shortages, delays and worker unease.”
