It can't be. People were dying around the world and he said it was a hoax the democrats started to hurt his reelection. Anybody remember that?

I guarantee, nobody will remember this by election day. And if they're reminded, they'll just get pissed off.

Wait until it hits middle America. You know, those who went to Trump rallies and believed him when he said it was a hoax so they didn't take precautions. You know, those who's parents and grandparents are now dead. You know, when family members regardless of age who had other medical concerns are now dead

We'll see. So far the hardest-hit areas are urban, and tightly-connected suburbs (like NYC, New Jersey, and Connecticut). I'm not sure it'll have a big impact on small towns, villages, and isolated farms. And I'm pretty cynical about Americans' abilities to empathize with others, or their abilities to remember beyond a couple of weeks.

Kiki reservations are somewhat isolated and I just reported of a case in Washington state on a reserve. So, no I do not think that even small communities will be immune.

I hope you don't think I'm being dismissive of anybody.
I've just been looking at the hardest hit places and I think I see a pattern - basically where lots of highly mobile people intermingle in dense conditions (NYC Grand Central Station, Wuhan wet-market) and live in dense conditions (like large apartment buildings in NYC and/ or multi-generation households like Bergamo).
So, I'm not saying small places are immune; but geographically, maybe not as wildly impacted as NYC(New Jersey, Connecticut), which is the hardest hit and most densely populated, as well as most highly interconnected, place in N America.
Meanwhile, here in SoCal, the very definition of where everything is dispersed, the virus is spreading, but more slowly.
I think places like reservations or small towns can be individually hard-hit, in the sense they can be each like a small NYC. Everybody connects to everybody. At the moment, though, I don't see the rampant spread across the US or Canada like in Wuhan, Bergamo, or NYC.
But I could be wrong. Time will tell.

Fox Viewers Still Believe the Risk of Coronavirus Is Exaggerated. There’s more: 39 percent believe the virus was developed in a lab—presumably a Chinese bioweapons lab. It’s been astonishing to see just how far Fox will go to turn nearly anything into a partisan issue.

Key Medical Supplies Were Shipped From U.S. Manufacturers to Foreign Buyers, Records Show
April 1 2020, 2:10 p.m.
While much of the world moved swiftly to lock down crucial medical supplies used to treat the coronavirus, the U.S. dithered, maintaining business as normal and allowing large shipments of American-made respirators and ventilators to be sold to foreign buyers.
The foreign shipments, detailed in dozens of government records, show exports to other hot spots where the pandemic has spread, including East Asia and Europe.
The records show dozens of shipments of respirator equipment, medical garments, medical masks, oxygen concentrators, and ventilators sent abroad over the last two months.
The U.S. government has placed no restrictions on exports of medical supplies while continuing to impose financial penalties on the import of personal protective gear, protective goggles, pulse oximeters, hand sanitizer, and other medical products from China.
“An ideal policy,” Webb said, “would demand corporations give the U.S. government and U.S. health care entities the right of first refusal for PPE and related equipment during a national emergency.”
