Yeah, considering the state I live in, it's a mess. Cases are up 50% statewide.
Another thought: not all states have early voting; in those that do, it's still up to voters to get to the polls while they're in good health. One can think to themself: "Oh, I'll vote in person earlyish or else by Nov. 3rd" then get struck down with a bad case of COVID and how do you go to the polls then?
Even masked to the gills and even asymptomatic at that it's still criminally irresponsible to do so. Not to mention one might be too unwell to even put themself through it.
All of which is just another reason I'm such an advocate for voting by mail - you can get the ballot then not use it if you decide to vote in person, but at least the option's there if you get sick or some other crisis keeps you away, or whatever.
