The Midwest isn't uniformly avoiding contact. In Illinois they had a freaking election. Lots of elderly poll workers didn't show up (and were entirely justified in that), so they had to close a bunch of polling places and the remaining polling places were crowded and voters had to wait for hours. This fiasco definitely will have killed some people over the next month...
