There's already one documented outbreak of 19 cases associated with voting (that was a couple of days ago, they've probably identified more cases and outbreaks now). It was a stupid idea.
The math: the surveillance data from New York supports my initial estimates of an overall death rate per infected person (not per identified case) of about 0.6%. Right now 21% of New York has been. If we calculate 30% of the US getting infected over the next year (a very reasonable, in fact conservative estimate given how quickly this has spread) and use this 0.6% fatality rate we get 600,000 deaths in the US. If we did NOTHING and let it spread to 70% of the population (the percentage needed to get herd immunity) you would have 1.4 million deaths.
