"At least" 41 deaths among 3 million grocery workers.

I can't imagine we have anything resembling complete data for the number of grocery workers who have died. "At least 41" could be 42; it could be 500. Trying to draw conclusions on the relative safety of a grocery store employee versus the general public from that number is crazy.

That's exactly what the Washington Post article is doing.
