@ColoKate63; So where in your "statistics" do you see a counter point to SoCalMama's comment refuting, "Not a whole lot of ESSENTIAL workers over the age of 75 years last time I checked?" Maybe you missed SoCalMama's point.

You and the lab technician aren’t comprehending that you need to compare correctly matched cohorts in order to draw a conclusion. It’s useless to compare a 65-75+ senior citizen to a 42-year old grocery store clerk. That what SoCalMama is attempting to do to make her point.

The papers I cited compared like cohorts: 42-64 year old essential workers to 42-64 year old WFH (work from home) workers. Apples to apples. The conclusions were strongly indicative of the additional exposure to COVID, which brought with it a higher risk of illness and death.

If you want to look at COVID death rates for senior citizens, compare those in group living arrangements like assisted living and nursing homes to those who were able to stay home, out of an institution. It’s a incorrect comparison to match up senior citizens with younger essential workers.

I understand exactly what you are writing ColoKate63. That's not the point of contention I believe SoCalMama had made. Re-read what she wrote.

Speaking to the original query of this thread regarding whether good help is getting harder to find, in the parking industry (Servimer's area of mystery shop specialization) we have seen alarming increases in the incident rates of violations and deficiency in the areas of service, safety, and integrity from 2019 to 2020. This decline in these critical aspects of operations appears to be continuing in 2021. You can read the full article at [www.servimer.com]
