Statistically, even if you are 65+, your chance of dying from COVID19 is 0.2%, which is slightly higher than dying in a pedestrian accident. In other words, the walk to the polling location has a lower fatality content than the virus. Go for it.

While this article reports a junk study, your link is pretty janky too. The chance of dying from COVID is (accepting your dubious premise of 0.2%) 0.2% if they catch it, this year, vs an entire lifetime chance of dying in a pedestrian car accident of about .094%.
