But this is the insidious problem with COVID - it ISN'T that much more, if you're just looking at percentages (which of course is why he does it). Current US pop is 329.5 million, current COVID deaths are 844,000. That's 0.26% of the population. So I mean, certainly more than 0.03%, but not enough to shut down idiots like Mike Rowe - he'd just shrug and go "99.97%, 99.74%, what's the difference, it's an incredibly small number!" Which, yeah, saying it that way it sounds minor enough to fellow idiots that they go :byodood: "YEAH! Why are we doing all this stuff for such a small number!"

There were 806 deaths on the job (309 of those on their way to/from the job) in Germany in 2019.

9.7 deaths/million in Germany, 22.3 in USA‽

I kind of get the argument that you need to balance work-risk against the benefits of that work - in Germany, doing unprotected lead acid battery refurbishment will always make your life worse than just being unemployed. In Bangladesh, it may be a step up in quality of life and life expectancy compared to unemployment, if you're poor?

On the other hand, if you put some sort of global minimum safety rules in place, Bangladesh would still need car batteries, local repair work would still be cheaper than the alternatives, and you'd stop a whole lot of very preventable injuries and deaths.

An alternative would be to make the safety rules part of the import requirements of interested countries - so like renewable wood and CE-marked electronics, you require imported goods to be made with some level of worker protection. Of course, a system like that would be vulnerable to local workarounds, from outright faking certification, through bribing inspectors, up to unofficial national support for certifying anyone who asks to keep the exports up. You'd need an IAEA-like international team of inspectors to make it work, and that ... seems unlikely.
