U.S. voters went to the polls starkly divided on how they see Trump’s response to the coronavirus. In places where the virus is most rampant now, Trump received enormous support. In the 376 counties with the highest number of new cases per capita, 93% voted for Trump. That is an overwhelming majority, according to reports at HuffPost.com. 93% is a rate above other less severely hit areas, which coincidentally went with Biden. Most were rural areas in the Dakotas, Montana, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Iowa.
Data suggests that for every person who dies of COVID-19, they leave behind nine family members. According to HuffPost, that means nearly 2 million people in the US theoretically have experienced the death of a close relative due to the disease. It's easy to be triggered by the news, especially when COVID-19-positive President Donald Trump turns it into a campaign photo op. If you're feeling overwhelmed with grief and frustration, mental health experts encourage taking action. Grieve openly. Reach out to friends and family, and turn off the TV. Know that what you're feeling is natural and normal, and be kind to yourself. If it helps, look for virtual support groups with people going through the same thing or reach out to a mental health professional.
