Sanity Claws

(2,605 posts)There is some legitimacy in saying that Covid-19 hit most heavily originally in the coastal blue states simply by dint of their importance as ports (air and sea), and from there it spread inward. However, there is really no question that politics (and Trump) are now a major bigger predictor of Covid-19 spread than anything else.
Just for grins, I turned the above map into a 2020 electoral college map:

This accounts for 273 electoral votes where Covid-19 is still raging, and is likely going to STILL be simmering by November. Delaware and Wyoming cancel one another out. Given that IL and VA are both likely to go Biden, this means that the states now being worst hit by Covid account for only 240 votes, so Trump's support in many of those states (WI, NC, perhaps even GA) are likely MUCH softer than the media is accounting for.
