In UK/Wales, occupations w/ increased risk of COVID-death:

NOT nurses, doctors

INSTEAD:
taxi, bus, coach drivers, chauffeurs
security guards
nursing assistants, care workers
admin & secretaries
chefs
sales, retail assistants
construction, process, plant & machine operations

Crap. I meant to link to the person whose tweet drew my attention to this, but I can't find him now. Here's the UK/Wales Office for National Statistics site.

Thinking of the reports of COVID19 deaths in Toronto taxi drivers right now.

@nytimes did a piece on #COVIDー19 exposure risk by occupation

nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Important to note that risk of occupational exposure (e.g. NYT article) does not always equal actual exposure because of differences in factors such as PPE, infection control training and infrastructure present in some settings but not others.

These differences could account for why #COVID19 exposure in Bergamo, as measured by antibodies (seroprevalence), was lower in hospital workers than in general population
