Part of the issue is that some of the public facing high risk jobs, like line cook, are hard to fill because the people who filled them are fucking dead. Of Covid.

I’ve heard this in a couple of places now. It’s a neat, but horrifying, explanation. Are there reliable statistics that suggest it may be true?

Simple math says it's wrong. 500k people died of covid in the USA, most over retirement age. Drop in the bucket of employment.

Line cook was the deadliest job w.r.t. Covid.
