Most working-age Americans who died of COVID-19 during the first year of the pandemic were so-called essential workers in labor, service and retail jobs that required on-site attendance and prolonged contact with others, according to a recently published study led by a University of South Florida epidemiologist.
he study looks back on COVID-19 deaths in 2020 and affirms what many had already known or suspected — that Americans who could not work from home and who labored in low-paying jobs with few or no benefits, such as paid sick leave and health insurance coverage, bore the brunt of deaths during the pandemic’s first year, said Jason Salemi, an associate professor in USF’s College of Public Health and co-author of the study.
Salemi said the finding, while perhaps expected, left him with two takeaways: That essential workers need more protections during an infectious disease pandemic, and that society’s desire to “return to normal” will mean different things for different people — with inequitable consequences.
“If I say I want things to return to normal, I’m in a position of advantage,” Salemi said. “I can work from home most days. I have access to a primary care physician, and paid sick leave. There are people in this study for whom that may not be the case.”

Hillary and those of her ilk know what’s best for you.
This bunch is up to their manipulation tactics again. This kind of hogwash will continue until prior to elections.
It is also a way to scare people away from seeking employment.
What? I thought we were “all in this together”! I saw videos of the most important people telling me that daily!
Destroy the country and scare people to death for no reason. What else did those people have in common? How many were obese, how many had major health problems? How may died in a motorcycle wreck and n the way to work?
I’m disgusted at how cowardly and easily led people have become.
if everyone had sat in the dark and starved to death
we would all be better off
How many of those people would still be alive if the government didn’t force doctors to not use certain cheap medications? I attribute a majority of the deaths to the federal government meddling with the doctor patient relationship. It was the, I’M FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND I’M HERE TO HELP.
Over 65?
Co-morbidities?
Wore masks for extended periods of time?
How many of the essential departed were double-triple-quadruple vaxxed?
The government’s handling of their own self-made crisis was an utter fiasco. I have little reason to trust it in a future one. I’ll take my chances working through it and avoiding their untested concoctions.
Did they also examine Vitamin D levels in those who died? Research showed that nobody with Vit D above 50 mcg died.
Salemi said the finding, while perhaps expected,
I call BS on this study.
70,000 death certificates.
Are we saying 70k is the entirety of working age that died of covid? If so that should show what a fraud this whole thing was.
If it was not, the entirety, how was it determined to be a representative sample?
No doubt more exposure equal higher likelihood, but lockdowns are a time shifting mechanism at best. Concluding they “saved lives” is a bogus conclusion
However, most people who died from (with) Covid were over age 60.
For healthy people under age 60, the death rate from Covid was equal to an average influenza year.
For healthy people under age 20, the death rate was almost too small to measure.
Bottom Line...
Protect the aged and the infirm.
Everyone else, go back to your normal life.
They were the first to get vaccinated.
They were fat.
Those are the real commonalities.
How many of these weeds got shot with Remdesivir?
Me too.. Every study I have seen says that the lockdowns were completely ineffective.
Just how racist is covid 19?
Wow another government funded grant study. I’m shocked
