And there are more older Republicans, just like most oldies here vote Tory.
One thing not much mentioned in this whole story is how the middle and professional classes (not only in the US) can work from home and escape the the brunt of it.
And as the article I posted shows it's lack of a degree that's the biggest predictor of Trump support.Hard Brexit now!

The other disparity that may well be important is that Trump's older supporters are characterised as old and rich. In America, that makes a huge difference when you're ill.
One assumes uneducated workers will still by and large live when they nearly all catch it, but the older folk are going to be decimated unless something changes and there may be fewer old Democrats but more of them will probably die.
