States can swing very easily with 5,000 votes, which accounts for about 3% of the deaths. Again, if you think it's fear that got to me, I had to even look up the death count just now, because I haven't paid attention to it since the first month. Whether you like it or not doesn't matter, only thing on this site that matters for the next 4 months is Trump winning.

Yeah, I know of the examples of people dying from lets say heart attacks while they happen to have the virus, and it's labelled a virus death. I know we show high numbers because we test way more than all other countries, and I know the death count is decreasing even though the cases are higher. Again, it's not that I'm afraid of it, I just factor that its target is well within our voting demographic. Cold? No. Flu? Yes. Old people commonly get a flu vacc as well. It's not a winning battle to downplay the deaths, whether past or future, of our voters - we want them all.
