Except in this case it will take the elders, not the firstborn.

Not to be melodramatic or anything, but maybe the red-state progressives should 
stay inside and put lambs blood above their doors for the next few weeks or 
months, just to be on the safe side:

There are progressive individuals (and organizations) in red states.[1]   I 
hope those individuals stay safe while the pandemic continues.   I don’t hope 
that they come out of their homes to help their locality and get sick in the 
process.   Of course, some may have to put their health at risk just to eat and 
pay rent, no thanks to the preferences of their neighbors and local leaders.  I 
don’t know what purpose your categorization serves, other than as a way to 
express frustration.   I also don’t want the people you mention above on 
ventilators or in ICUs, because these are scarce resources.
