15,000 construction workers working on the World Cup have not died.
15,021 non-Qataris have died. The number includes any expatriate in Qatar - teachers, managers, fast food servers, VPs - everyone. Even among construction workers, the vast majority are working on projects that have nothing to do with the World Cup. For context, something like 80% of the 2.6m people in Qatar are expatriates, and these deaths occurred over a 9 year period. You can do the math.

- djrockstar1 5y agoI'm literally just a Pakistani dude who's lived in Qatar all his life bored at work with nothing to do. Well, that or I'm a Qatari national working for the Qatari government as a social media agent, but doing programming on the side for some reason, who knows?
