Yes and given they are doing “contactless delivery” now how much risk is there really in contracting this virus from just being outside (especially since most people are inside)?

They still have to go to the store, walk around with everyone else shopping, interact with the checkout employees, and travel to their dropoff location. Just because the person receiving the delivery doesn't contact them doesn't make an entire delivery contactless.

I understand there is still some elevated risk, but shelter-in-place orders aren’t issued because it is dangerous to go outside—it’s to keep sick people from going outside.

Instacart could pay someone to make hand sanitizer if they wanted.

They can purchase soap.

Sanitizers are made with alcohol, which are presumably in low supply. It doesn't take that much labor to actually make the sanitizer. All you need to to is mix two ingredients together and bottle it.

Many places have facilities to make the alcohol, in UK at least the barrier seems to be legislative -- companies need licenses for stills to make the requisite alcohol (they're licensed for other alcohol production), and those licenses aren't available.

Amazon has the global logistical supply chain to make it happen. Bezos can send an email and have a grain-to-alcohol pipeline in the works by the end of the week.
