From The Atlantic:"In the spring of 2021, the excess death rate (caused by COVID-19) among Florida and Ohio Republicans was 43 percent higher than among Florida and Ohio Democrats. The death rate in the 300 most proTrump counties was 2.5 greater than in the 300 most antiTrump counties." Die for him!
