Let’s forget about fears for a moment and get down to brass tacks. For some reason, this never seems to come up in any news article: > Through October of last year, more than 100 million working-age Americans, or people between the ages of 18 and 65, have contracted the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Add that to the long-haul workers, and we’ve lost 1.9 million workers — or 18% of currently unfilled jobs.
