How many of these dead people were of a working age?
- Swizec 4y agoEnough? Keep in mind we got some of the first ever basic human rights because there weren’t enough peasants after the black plague.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoI mean in the context of does it explain the absent workers?
- Nowado 4y agoIf you go with that excess deaths number, if the answer was 1/4 (which is what stats suggest) that covers half of the 10M. There's still the other half, but that's not nothing.
- Clubber 4y agoI would think that the older folks that died from Covid had some money to leave to their children or grandchildren, who use that to either take an extended vacation, or sabbatical or whatever. Just because they are old and weren't working doesn't mean their early death didn't have a monetary affect.
