> Unless it killed laborers disproportionately, and spared non-laborers
This is actually highly likely, given the facts we know.
1) It is highly transmissible when people are in close quarters for longer than a few minutes
2) Many businesses forced their employees to continue working with no PPE, no adequate ventilation, and no paid sick time
Combine these things, and you get a very high likelihood of increased transmission among the most vulnerable of laborers—which thus increases their likelihood of death in proportion.
