It just goes to show how little agency these workers have. One dumb story drawing outsized conclusions with bad data has people claiming Qatar is A-OK because the story is wrong. It may very well be that workers have a lower death rate in Qatar than in the medieval-level conditions of their home countries, but that doesn't excuse indentured servitude (actual modern slavery) which is what many face in Qatar and UAE. In the 1700's British slave traders brought Africans to the new world where most lived longer lives than they would have in their homelands. How does that reflect badly on British slave traders? </sarcasm>
