    Though it is a disturbing & extreme option, we should seriously consider deliberately infecting folks with coronavirus, to spread out the number of critically ill people over time, and to ensure that critical infrastructure remains available to help sick. http://www.overcomingbias.com/2020/02/consider-controlled-infection.html …

        The most common reaction is "you first". So though I address it in my post, let me repeat here: I proposed compensating volunteers via cash or medical priority for associates, & I'd seriously consider such offers. In 3 polls, 75+% of respondents don't think that someone who …

        Should it be rules that anyone who publicly supports a law against X must be willing to personally and alone attack someone accused of X, but holed up somewhere w/ many guns & allies & refusing to leave to be arrested?

        I'm more interested in tech that would support a market in recovered patients. Would you pay a premium for an Uber driver who could prove he contracted the virus and then recovered? Could Target staff a store with only immune staff?

        Good idea for market implementarion of Robin's plan. Offer 10k month extra for critical workers who have recovered.

        If anyone could exert this level of control, it's China. If they can't even do it now, how could they in 4 months?

        Maybe they could do it, but haven't chosen to.

        Some epidemiologists may be discussing that option, but we don’t even know if you get immunity, and what lasting effects it leaves on you. It may be more reasonable to set up labs on all airports and not let anyone enter a plane without a swab.

        Seconded. What is the base rate for getting natural immunity after a virus? And how long until we get data about it?
