Love how the article uses word play to manipulate the average (or below) reader. For example:

The highest death rates were among men working in lower-paid occupations. Security guards, for example, had one of the highest death rates from the virus, with 45.7 deaths per 100,000 men working in that industry

The article calls this "one of the highest rates. If you do the math, it comes out to .000457% of people per 100,000. But 45.7 "sounds" so much worse by tricking the reader into thinking that number is a percentage when it's not. This is the type of propaganda that has created this fear mongering mess we are in right now. Furthermore, can someone explain how you get a .7 of a death? 45.7 deaths? You're either dead or you're not. There is no .7 of a death.
