Imagine you're in a highrise building and the floors below you are on fire

8. Oh, no question. Unfortunately that's not how it works

The virus is choosing who it infects. No human is involved in that decision making. And coronavirus is not checking party registration.

It hits poor communities. It hits lower educated communities. It hits people in communities where there's more public transportation and fewer healthcare facilities. It's hitting the elderly and people with pre-existing health conditions, both of whom tend to live in areas that are both food and pharmacy "deserts."

And of course it's hitting 20 somethings who are statistically most likely to be resistant. It's also starting to hit kids who are too young to get the vaccine yet

And yes, it's hitting churches and church camps. But it's also getting into summer school programs and birthday parties. And none of these risk factors are based on partisan affiliation.

There may be some broader geographic variables, but the virus goes into a town that's 60% Republican and 30% Democratic⁶ (minus some statistical clustering) the affected population will probably be around 60-30---and it may well skew harder against the Democrats because of socioeconomic variables that make poorer communities more vulnerable
