That is misinformation. According to the UFCW union, 456 of their 1.3M members have died of COVID-19. While those deaths are tragic, it's only 0.04% and had no significant impact on the workforce. To put it in context, the COVID-19 death rate for grocery workers is actually lower than the US population as a whole. And many of the workers who died were infected outside the workplace. https://www.supermarketnews.com/issues-trends/grocery-worker... I encourage everyone to get vaccinated if they can, but vaccinated customers also transmit the virus. There is only a limited and temporary reduction in transmission risk. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y |
