With a lot of red states just not bothering to count, or attributing Covid-19 deaths to other causes, I think the actual death toll is at least 20% higher.

120,000 is the population of my town and the two adjacent ones. It's roughly the population of Lansing, MI. It's too many deaths that could have been prevented if there were a human being in the White House.
