Disproportionately?
Coronavirus in health care workers
Answer: Because they were infected much earlier than at the time the tests were done, by multiple contacts with various unsuspecting patients, including the asymptomatic carriers.
The reports about the earlier dates of the Coronavirus appearance in France and Sweden: December - November 2019 do confirm this point of view and explanation.

"You might be right, Michael. There is something there, in your New Abwehr Hypothesis of Covid-19 and the other historical events. We might consider cooperating with your Investigation."
My Response: Thank you for your insight and the message, Admiral Kostyukov.
I think, respectfully, that it is in your (=Russia's) best interests to cooperate and to assist (in absolute honesty, as I said so many times earlier) with this Investigation, as complex as it might be."
I also call on Chinese authorities to cooperate completely and wholeheartedly, in response to calls from Europe and the rest of the World. I think, that this cooperation is also in your best interests."

Sweden could have had its first case of coronavirus as early as November, two months before it officially arrived, according to the Scandinavian country’s chief epidemiologist.
Anders Tegnell, the Swedish state epidemiologist, told local media that it was probable that travellers from Wuhan in China came to Sweden in November or December. “It doesn’t sound at all strange but very natural,” he added.
Sweden’s first official case came in January from a 20-year-old woman returning from a trip from Wuhan, the presumed source of Covid-19.
The debate about when the pandemic first came to Europe intensified this week after a French doctor said a patient diagnosed with pneumonia on December 27 actually had coronavirus, according to a recent retest of a swab taken at the time.

M.N.: Better late (that this association of the "Spanish" Flu with "Extremism" - read Abwehr, the German Military Intelligence, was found) than never.
NY Fed study links Spanish flu to extremist voting in 1930s Germany

A staff report by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has found a correlation between deaths from the influenza pandemic in 1918-1920 and extremist voting in Germany in 1932 and 1933, in research that will fuel concerns about the long-term social and political implications of the coronavirus outbreak.
The NY Fed study, released on Monday, found that German cities hit hardest by the disease that spread at the end of the first world war ended up, more than a decade later, with lower public spending and a higher propensity to vote for Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party.
“Influenza deaths themselves had a strong effect on the share of votes won by extremists, specifically the extremist national socialist party,” the NY Fed research, authored by Kristian Blickle, found. “This effect dominates many other effects and is persistent even when we control for the influences of local unemployment, city spending, population changes brought about by the war, and local demographics or when we instrument for influenza mortality,” it said.
The NY Fed report said the coronavirus outbreak had “renewed age-old questions about the economic and social effects of pandemics”, saying the 1918 outbreak had “profoundly shaped German society going forward” .
Its findings could raise alarm bells about the long-term ramifications of coronavirus at a time when western democracies are already grappling with the reality of populist leaders in power or close to power. Germany has not been hit as hard as other European nations such as Spain, Italy and the UK by pandemic – and one big difference compared to the 1918 influenza outbreak is that last century’s disease affected young people more.
The NY Fed research suggested that one of the 1918 influenza pandemic’s consequences was a disturbing “resentment” towards foreigners and minorities. “The correlation between influenza mortality and the vote share won by right-wing extremists is stronger in regions that had historically blamed minorities, particularly Jews, for medieval plagues,” it said.

Federal Reserve Bank of New YorkStaff ReportsPandemics Change Cities:Municipal Spending and Voter Extremismin Germany, 1918-1933
Kristian Blickle Staff Report No. 921 May 2020 Preliminary: Please do not cite without permission Pandemics Change Cities: Municipal Spending and Voter Extremism in Germany, 1918-1933 Kristian Blickle Federal Reserve Bank of New York Staff Reports, no. 921 May 2020 JEL classification: H3, H4, I15, N14 Abstract We merge several historical data sets from Germany to show that influenza mortality in 1918-1920 is correlated with societal changes, as measured by municipal spending and city-level extremist voting, in the subsequent decade. First, influenza deaths are associated with lower per capita spending, especially on services consumed by the young. Second, influenza deaths are correlated with the share of votes received by extremist parties in 1932 and 1933. Our election results are robust to controlling for city spending, demographics, war-related population changes, city-level wages, and regional unemployment, and to instrumenting influenza mortality. We conjecture that our findings may be the consequence of long-term societal changes brought about by a pandemic. Key words: influenza, pandemic, municipal spending, voter extremism
