By itself, 200,000 isn’t that big a number nationally distributed. But regional pockets of that number would be potentially far more significant and impactful, especially if the deaths were disproportionately weighted to a specific corner of the workforce.

We saw this with illnesses among our offshore contractors when India spiked. Changed target dates for some teams.

I was going to say, with a large number of the deaths in the workforce age probably coming recently, amongst the onslaught of Delta against the unvaccinated, that would disproportionately target workers in the South and those who are in industries with a lot of human contact, which would also line up with the slower-than-expected return of the hospitality industries.
