According to a new UCSF study, food and agricultural workers are at the highest risk of death from COVID-19 among working age Californians. The study, which analyzed deaths of essential workers between ages 18 to 65, found line cooks to be at the highest risk of all, more so than packaging machine operators, construction laborers and even nurses.

1. And there was a segment on MSNBC today about Ag workers not being able to get

the vaccine. I'm sure this applies to front line cooks too.

2. Close quarters. Lots of heavy breathing. Getting into the flow of a rush mask discipline can slip

There’s almost no way to distance given the layout of restaurant kitchens.

3. And up until a few weeks ago, tRump staffers

5. No surprise, they tend to make less money so probably wait longer

to seek treatment when it can be too late.

And these jobs are not in health care so they probably don't have as direct safety standards as those in health care.

And then all the other issues such as not so easily being able to get your own transportation. Living with others who probably also work outside the home in low wage jobs since they can't afford to have someone not work.

6. Before I clicked I guessed it would be cashiers.

7. Consistent With IDPH Findings

Long term care facilities, restaurants & bars were the 3 greatest causes of spread here in Illinois.
They were substantially in excess of medical facilities.
I actually did expect to see LTC workers #1, but I'm not shocked at this.

8. We really should have had global triage before the vaccines were even ready to go.

9. There was one other job that might have been even riskier

It was the job of Senate Majority Leader in 2020.

McConnell had his head so far up Trump's ass that it was a miracle that he didn't catch Covid before Trump did.

10. How about being on the staff for one of the Republican dimwits in

Congress?
