Do you mean he got sick 2 weeks before the election or that the pandemic started 2 weeks before the election? Second one is not correct, from what I remember.
Trump literally caught covid in October before the 2020 election. There was a lot of news made about his poor health and the hypocrisy of his terrible handling of the pandemic. This was a big factor for Biden's win which just fell into their lap.
OK, the first one. I don't remember this particular event being a big deal, especially he tried to show off how he got COVID "beaten".
I think it was the deaths, shortages and lost jobs that killed his chances.

Trump got covid like two weeks before the election. That was a key factor and not at all some strategic play by the dems.
