* The death numbers are as reported by Qatar's own statistics agency and Amnesty says there are significant problems with them.
* Migrant workers are working age, not elderly, so comparing this to overall death rates is probably misleading.
* "69% of deaths of workers from India, Nepal and Bangladesh
between 2008 and 2019 were attributed to ‘natural causes’ or ‘cardiac arrest’, and contained no information about the underlying causes of death... experts consulted by Amnesty International have said that in a well-resourced health system, it should be possible to identify the cause of death in all but 1% of cases."
