Mekong Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 6,500 Migrant workers have died in Qatar since the World Cup was awarded is a true statement, 6500 Migrant workers died constructing World Cup Stadiums is false. There are over 2 Million migrant workers in Qatar working 60 hours a week, since the World Cup was awarded that is 2,000,000 x 12 x 60 x 52 or 74,888,000,000 manhours spent which is 11,520 manhours per fatality. In the USA construction industry there are 10 fatalities per 100,000 per annum which equates to 10,000 52 x 40 or 20,800,000 manhours per fatality nearly 60% of Qatar figure. USA does not have the Heat Index, the biggest killer of workers in the Middle East. It may not come of a surprise but MORE migrant workers Die in Saudi, UAE and Kuwait, but since they are not holding a World Cup nobody gives a toss about them. Honestly all this Hyperbole and fake wrath against Qatar makes me laugh. If people were really concerned about migrant workers in the Middle East they would question Saudi, UAE and Kuwait as well as Qatar, and concentrate on all projects and not just a few white elephant stadiums.

Mekong Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Hey I am not defending the Qataris but they do seem to get an extorted bad rap Those “Savages with Money” kept Covid deaths down to 236 per Miliom, Compare that to Australia 406, UK 2,688 or USA 3,418, so what does this make these countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 I can feel a misinformation argument coming on... I posit - were the 6,500 deaths ascribed to workers construction activities in Qatar, really caused by construction activities? Or were they really Covid deaths and the officials put "construction" on the death certificates, to make Qatar look good on the world stage and in the eyes of the WHO? And I reckon there weren't 6,500, the true number was 6,501. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree probably misleading to link the two but makes a great headline. 6,500 may have died during the construction period but how many were related to "construction" will probably be never known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
