Amazon wants to make the current situation as easy as possible. Just recently, it decided to avoid stocking the fulfillment centers with non-essential items, making sure there are groceries and medicines available for those who need them. Amazon is also hiring an extra 100,000 people for the distribution centers and to deliver products.
The current move is designed to help parents who are suddenly working from home with no childcare in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools and daycares have completely closed down in many parts of the world, with many businesses moving to home working where possible. Parents are looking for ways to help ease the stress of having the children at home, and Amazon Prime Video programming is certainly going to be popular for many.
