I'm excited to see how COVID-19 is butterfly affected in this timeline (and future alt-2020 timelines!) In our timeline (OTL), the death toll on 7/1/20 was around 150,000. I wonder, is this timeline twice as bad? So by Election Day, we'd have 250,000 deaths? Or are the COVID effects happening five months early (OTL the 350k deaths happened in December), but without the vaccine we'd still see the same rate of acceleration of deaths. Covid deaths went from as low as 391 in late October to over 10 times as much in January. I wonder just how bad the death toll will end up in this timeline. And what affect it'll have on the election!
