Grimly fascinating how the escallation of health threats at work magnifies the importance of effective health and safety legislation and means to enforce workers' rights.
And also injects an externality. Evil capitalist making poisonous chemicals in a room harms only the worker, so the state not intervening to protect worker from capitalist harms only that worker.
With covid19, not intervening to properly protect the worker fuels continued transmission and kills and incapacitates others.
