Blame China and their lab and coverup. If the people elect Biden, I will support him as President.60k or 200k is still a statistical pittance. Virus kills mostly feeble and very old or those with underlying conditions. I had it and it was like an annoying cold. Nothing more. My wife had virtually no symptoms and neither did my kids. 99% of the people will be perfectly fine. Problem is 1% is 3mil. Would overrun the healthcare system so we have to spread the 3mil out. Of that 3mil 10% likely don't make it so around 300k but 33% of them would not make it anyway due to age and other factors so 200k in deaths is about right.
I don't think anyone sane is going to look at 60K or 200K dead and say, "Awesome job, Trump".
Also, when those numbers have names behind them, it becomes something quite different.
When we were running up to the War in Iraq, people talked about 10,000 casualties in the initial invasion alone. No one batted an eye at those estimates. When we actually started having casualties, and Cindy Sheehan protesting outside Bush's ranch, people were less enthused.
Rightly or wrongly, people will look to take it out on someone's hide, and Trump is right there.
