Trump voters far more likely to die of Covid

Americans in areas that voted for President Donald Trump are almost three timesmore likely to die of Covid-19 than those based in counties that supported Joe Biden, an analysis has found. In the most strongly proTrump areas therewas an almost sixfold difference in pandemic mortalitywith the most pro-Biden areas, according to National Public Radio. The analysis came as Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, a Democratic stronghold, announced the first mandate in the US for all private employers to ensure staff are vaccinated.
