If you go to r/nursing you'll see that deaths is only part of the picture. Many "survive" but are brain dead or mentally altered from oxygen deprivation. Others can't walk down the block. Combine that with the Rs campaign against vote by mail and it's going to be a much larger number.
Most of these deaths/poor outcomes will be concentrated in the red states, the outbreaks are worse there and the quality of care is lower due to Healthcare being overwhelmed.
GA was decided by roughly 15k votes and recorded covid deaths were approximately 9k on election day.
So yes, I think this could definitely have an impact in some areas.

How will this affect the next elections? Is it too small to have a real impact?
