I didn't express skepticism towards anyone involved. Rather,was basing my opinion based purely on the facts I saw presented in the article.

1. Amazon told him to self quarantined because he had been exposed, to not return to the place of work for 2 weeks 2. He came back before the 2 weeks was up 3. The fired him for it

Given those facts, action 3 seems reasonable. I even prefaced my thoughts indicating that they the actions only reason reasonable if I my understanding of the situation is correct.

Turns out, my understanding of the situation was incorrect. More information was presented. If that information is also true, then their actions (firing him) no longer seem reasonable.
