One of the more interesting stats of the election (even if we don’t know exactly what it means): “Support for President Trump increased in 2020 in many of the U.S. counties that lost lives at the highest rate to COVID-19, according to an NPR analysis. Of the 100 counties with the highest COVID-19 death rates per capita, 68 had a higher proportion of votes cast for Trump this cycle than they did in 2016. This includes both Republican-leaning counties and counties that supported Joe Biden.” Was it that people didn’t think Covid is an issue? Were those more likely to support Trump less likely to wear masks and take other precautions? Was the idea that the virus is over more enticing in places where people were the most nervous? Or does this stat mean nothing because everything means nothing?
