Red State Blue State: State of the Pandemic

There seems to be a trend emerging out there. Republicans are feeling negative about the sustainability of social distancing. Democrats are advocates. My modest proposal is this:
Red States should throw caution to the wind, let the weak perish (and the strong who can't get care), then let the virus take its course, hoping that those who survive will have immunity, or at least lower susceptibility. On the other hand, Blue states should follow the extreme social distancing advice of health experts and try to flatten the curve, giving more time to build healthcare resources, and develop new treatments and vaccines.
Will the Red states be right?
Or will nobody be left?
