The same table says males in UK had a death rate of 0.00106 between 35 and 39 years of age in 2019 (5 times higher than workers in Qatar) so I don't know what's the mistake but it seems to me we can't compare those 2 numbers like that.

Of course not, these death rates are based on numbers reported by embassies. It’s unsurprising that they aren’t very accurate.

But if we were to believe these numbers, the only possible conclusions would reflect very well on Qatar.

Right, the numbers are so far in Qatar's favour that we know they must be wrong. Which makes it even more ridiculous that The Guardian has managed to fabricate a negative article from them.
