'earthquake, hurricane, flood, fire, outbreak of pestilence or outbreak of infectious disease or other calamity' he may adjourn Election Day to 'some other day...not being more than thirty days after the day specified'
so once Election Day has been proclaimed, we can't postpone for more than 30 days.

My take: covid numbers could be worse in 30 days. No point postponing at this point.
