Look at the numbers of Americans responding "extremely concerned" to the question how concerned they were about COVID in late February and early March. The impeachment trial was still fresh and the public & counterpublic's media had very different coverage of the pandemic creating very different levels of concern. The predictions have warned a lot more infections than 80 million, btw. Greater than half of the American population is a fairly mainstream view among the experts.

I'm missing your point on that graphic, at least regarding what we were talking about. Clearly it demonstrated dems were more concerned, but they do tend to live in dense cities.

Is it possible to measure concern in an objective manner? Or are we just promoting more subjective out of context media arse pull data?
How concerned were they? What does concern look like? What if they said they were concerned but didnt behave like they were concerned?
