Indirectly, yes. Probably not directly, if you're thinking the workers have gone extinct. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 16:21 8
- By indirectly, I mean, fewer people willing to work in a high risk situation for shit salaries. Pandemic side effect. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 16:57
- Extinct, of course not. But there are less workers -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 16:34 6
  - Marginally, at best. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 19, 16:47 5
    - Yep. Statistically a non-factor. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 19, 16:53 4

        Even that wouldn’t significantly impact the analysis. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 17:18
