It's a dangerous strategy. Bush tried it, and it resulted in Democrats taking congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008. Now Trump is trying it, but it may not work if the virus continues to grow in states like Georgia that were late in making restrictions and have poor services because they are Trump states. Florida could explode and threaten his support there among older folks.

Also, since older folks are more vulnerable, and they tend to vote more Republican, that could backfire on Trump's deadly strategy as well.
