cgbg, you overlook age-related and co-morbidity issues. People are more likely to contract diseases, and more likely to develop serious cases of them, as they age and come down with other medical problems. This is normal for most any disease, but seems to be much magnified for CoVid-19.

Dark Wing pointed out that nuclear power plant operators who acquired their skills tend to be ex-career military, i.e., retired after 20 years of service. That puts them in the 40+ year-old age cohort, and excludes the low-risk 20-39 year-old age cohorts.

So nuclear power plant control room staff are almost all in the higher-risk age cohorts. That completely skews your statistics.

The age statistics have been posted here over and over again.

The death rates drop dramatically in a step-wise fashion.

40 to 60 puts you in the mid-range...

Please, do some research here.
